With Homeword’s tiny homes, the Bakken’s loss could be low-income Missoula’s gain
When the deal’s too good to pass up, you buy first and figure out the details later. That’s not how low-income housing developments typically start, but it’s what Homeword’s Andrea Davis decided to do when the Missoula nonprofit director saw the price tag on the surplus manufactured homes designed to house Bakken oilfield workers.
The units don’t look like much on the outside. But they seemed well built, appliances were already installed, and they cost just $35,000 apiece. Davis ordered ten.
"It was such a good opportunity that we didn’t want to let it go," she says, "but we didn’t have a project yet."
