2023 Housing Landscape Assessment – Missoula Community Planning, Development & Innovation
Missoula’s first comprehensive city-wide housing policy, A Place to Call Home: Meeting Missoula’s Housing
Needs, was approved by City Council on June 24, 2019. The policy attempts to both spur and harness the
market to better provide housing at a wide range of entry points, and to ensure that all Missoulians can obtain
safe and decent homes.
A Place to Call Home organizes over two dozen specific policy recommendations into four primary strategies:
Track and analyze progress for continuous improvement
Align and leverage existing funding resources to support housing
Reduce barriers to new supply and promote access to affordable homes
Partner to create and preserve affordable homes
The scope of this Housing Landscape Assessment is limited, and the intent is to provide key background
information about housing policy goals, investment outcomes, population factors, housing trends and needs
that could inform the allocation planning process for the Affordable Housing Resident Oversight Committee.
This Landscape Assessment is intended to provide a snapshot and is not expected to be comprehensive.
