Adam is joining us as a ROC Program Specialist, working with the Resident Owned Community program. He will support existing ROC communities in western Montana and help bring interested communities into resident ownership. Adam is dedicated to finding sustainable, affordable housing solutions for all Montanans.

Sherrie Arey, Executive Director of NeighborWorks Great Falls, have had the opportunity to meet with our Montana delegates!

Huge thanks to Senator Steve Daines and Senator Jon Tester for providing phenomenal conversations about how we can provide housing Montanans can afford. And thank you to the staff from Representative Matt Rosendale‘s office for meeting with us about the work we are doing in the state!

The conference is offering two days packed full of great content, with three plenary sessions and over 20 breakout sessions to choose from. Our virtual platform comes with the benefit of not having to miss a single session! Recordings of all sessions will be available through both the Whova web-based app (for 3 months) and mobile app (for 6 months).

About the Plenary Sessions:

• Our opening plenary session will bring together experts in the field of rural housing from across the country for a panel conversation about the different issues and solutions to rural housing from REDI to Native Homeownership and how COVID has affected or changed the way they do their work. We will also hear from Montana’s elected officials during this time!

• The plenary on Wednesday morning will feature Sarah Elkins of Elkins Consulting. Sarah will guide us to uncovering the right personal stories for the right audiences so executives, leaders, public speakers, and job seekers can clearly and effectively demonstrate their character, values, and vision.

• Our final plenary will examine the effects COVID has had on housing across Montana. Hear from staff at Montana Housing and partners statewide who have been working on housing assistance as part of the COVID response. Clients will share their experience with receiving COVID Emergency Housing Rental Assistance, and we will look at where we go from here.

The conference is $150 for individual registration, or new this year, you can purchase an organization ticket to cover up to 10 in your organization (don’t forget your Board members). Visit mthousingpartnership.org/2021-conference for full details and to register.
