POVERELLO CENTER
City of Missoula
The Poverello Center’s mission is to fulfill basic needs: feed the hungry and give the homeless a bed. To help foster stability and reintegration into the community, partnerships with local social services providers allow access to healthcare, education, and counseling services.
Designed to complement the character of the neighborhood, the building features volumes that step-in height along the street frontage. Awnings provide shade to second floor windows while awnings adjacent to entries reinforce the pedestrian scale and provide shelter at the building entry. A courtyard area is enclosed for privacy and to mitigate impact on surrounding neighbors.
