MISSOULA, Mont. (AP) - The city of Missoula soon will have a new, $10.9 million YWCA homeless and domestic violence shelter.

The Missoulian reports the Missoula Redevelopment Agency’s board approved up to $144,404 in Tax Increment Financing to assist in the building of the emergency shelter.

It will include a domestic violence shelter capable of securely housing up to 13 individual families with children. And it will have a central facility jointly operated by YWCA and Family Promise that will be able to provide shelter for up to 31 homeless families each night.
