Federal funding cuts threaten local assistance to Ravalli County families

August 12, 2025/

Did you know over 60,000 Montanans utilized Community Action services throughout the state last year? Chances are, you or someone you know needed help when life took an unexpected turn. Montanans are hard-working and resilient. Even so, many families are living paycheck to paycheck, with only one medical emergency/job loss/family tragedy/crisis, away from needing temporary assistance to help cover food, utilities, healthcare or housing.

For over 60 years, Montana’s Community Action Agencies have been trusted organizations for people to turn to in times of crisis. Your Community Action Agency, the Human Resource Council, is an essential hub for helping folks in Mineral, Missoula, and Ravalli counties get out of a bind and back on their feet.
