GOAL
At Off the Streets, we are committed to breaking the cycle of homelessness by building relationships that empower individuals to achieve their self-determined outcomes.
In December of 2023, we opened a 12-bed emergency shelter to serve those who have fallen through the gaps in care: the chronically homeless. Since then, we’ve cared for more than 100 individuals, helping roughly 50% find more stable housing. This winter, we expanded our emergency shelter beds to 24, helping more of our homeless population get off the streets and to a place that is warm, safe and welcoming.
Our long-term goal at Off The Streets (OTS) is simple: open a low-barrier homeless shelter in Billings so that all homeless in our community have a place to stay on their journey toward home.

Monthly Giving
Monthly giving is a powerful way to provide sustainable, long-term support that your beloved Catholic parish, school, or ministry can count on. As little as $20 per month (67 cents a day) can make a difference for people throughout the Diocese of Great Falls-Billings forever.
To set up a monthly donation, scroll up to the donation form on this page, and click on the “Recurring” tab in the “Choose Your Gift” section. Or, if you prefer, you can visit this link and select the endowment you wish to support from the drop-down list.
Planned Giving
Your support of permanent endowments at the Catholic Foundation of Eastern Montana can qualify you for unique tax and/or lifetime income benefits (especially the hefty 40% Montana Endowment Tax Credit) through what we call “planned gifts.”
Establish a Named (Legacy) Endowment
Donors may create a Named (Legacy) Endowment benefiting the Catholic parish, school, or ministry of their choice. All that’s required to start is a gift of $20,000 or more (or a pledge of $20,000 or more, given within five years of creating the endowment).
This is a beautiful way to pay tribute to a deceased loved one or show future generations of your family what values you hold most dear. If you’re interested in creating a legacy endowment, contact us online or call (406) 315-1765.
