Montana program aims to connect homeless, recently jailed people with services to reduce recidivism
A Montana program aims to connect homeless people and those recently incarcerated with services and housing to help reduce recidivism. The Watershed Navigation Center in Missoula has opened part-time for the last several months and opened full-time in mid-September. In addition to helping people find housing or mental health care, the center has a clinic and helps people find work. There’s also lockers, donated clothing and access to laundry services. Watershed also provides a meeting place for a community support group for people exiting incarceration.
