KALISPELL — The Kalispell City Council has voted to revoke the Flathead Warming Center's conditional use permit.
Council members voted 6-3 on Monday evening following public comment and discussion during Monday evening's meeting.
The decision means the Flathead Warming Center can no longer provide a place for the homeless to stay overnight.
Kalispell Mayor Mark Johnson says the facility may be able to maintain some of its services — such as laundry and showers — but that depends on the building's zoning.
While it's not clear exactly what Monday's decision means for the future of the Flathead Warming Center, it will no longer be able to have people staying overnight.
We will continue to follow this story and determine exactly what this means for the Flathead Warming Center and what services they will be able to provide during the upcoming winter season.
