The Governor’s Housing Task Force on Monday released a preliminary draft of recommendations and strategies to increase the supply of affordable, attainable workforce housing.

“Everyone on both sides of the aisle would agree that the housing crisis is likely the largest issue of the next session (of the state Legislature),” explained state lawmaker Ellie Boldman, a Democrat who represents Senate District 45 in Missoula and who is a member of the task force. “We are clearly, as a state, going to have to work together to solve this problem.”
