Meetings have been held between Bureau staff and town officials to address this issue, and suggestions have been made to utilize resources at the County, State, and Federal levels. The Blaine County Welfare Department has agreed to provide emergency care for children in need, and efforts are being made to develop an emergency shelter program.
