As the city of Helena continues its efforts to address housing needs in the community, they’re seeking input from those working directly on the issue.

“We’ve heard a lot from some of our partner organizations that are really struggling, like Good Samaritan, Habitat for Humanity, Rocky Mountain Development Council,” said Kara Snyder, the city’s new housing coordinator. “For basically all of the programming that they do, they have just extraordinary waitlists right now, and part of the problem is there’s just not a lot of places for people to even get into, so there’s certainly a huge need right now.”
