Recently, both the Regional Director of the US Department of Health and Human Services and the Assistant Secretary of the US Department of Housing and Urban Development visited Missoula to tour and meet with local officials and service organizations. Like many state or federal visits, scheduling is quick, goals may be unclear, and outcomes are uncertain.
During these visits, we give facility tours, highlight innovative public-private partnerships, host roundtables with community leaders, and discuss the challenges we face. They give us the opportunity to showcase our collective work. Whether these visits result in funding opportunities or influence policy change, they always remind me why I am grateful to live in Missoula.
