I have lived in Bozeman for nine years and lived ten different places due to the challenges of the rental market here. I have never missed a rent payment and have picked up extra jobs to make things work. Rent is going up every single year and hardworking people cannot keep up. Housing is critical to our community and should not be considered a luxury. Housing is critical to holding down a job, meeting basic needs, showering, eating, and raising families. This is why I support tenants and will do whatever I can to keep our community livable. Too many people like me are struggling with housing, even when we work hard and give back to our community.
