“It can be done, I’m sure, but I’m afraid if we don’t get really inventive and pull together, it won’t get done and we’ll have a large portion of our population who will never have the opportunity to buy a house. To me, that would be really bad.” Collin Bangs

At a City Club Missoula forum on Monday, housing experts talked about ways to help fund the construction and rehabilitation of affordable housing – ideas that will be included in the city’s housing policy, due for release next month.

House Bill 16 would use coal tax trust fund money to provide $15 million in loans to develop low- to moderate-income housing, while Senate Bill 18 pushes for workforce housing tax credits. It would use federal and state money to build workforce housing, something Montana desperately needs.
