Amy Allison Thompson leads the Poverello Center

Amy Allison Thompson has been the Executive Director of the Poverello Center, Missoula’s homeless shelter, for 3 years. She has her BA in Psychology and Masters in Social Work, both from the University of Montana. She has an extensive background in social work, and spent many years working with the homeless and other vulnerable groups at the Pov and other locations before filling her current position. In this episode we talk about the importance to society of housing the homeless, and how the Poverello center helps those who live without a permanent and safe place to take shelter. We also discuss changes caused by Covid and how isolation works when you don’t have a secure place to hunker down. Amy also spends some time talking about changes she would like to see occur, that would help alleviate Missoula’s housing crisis and provide more and better options for the local homeless population.
