Meetings in June, July and August montana department of commerce Montana Landscape Photo by Montana Department of Commerce Regional Input Meetings in Hardin, Libby andGlasgow with Virtual Participation Options The Montana Departments of Commerce and Public Health and Human Services are developing the State’s 2025-2029 Consolidated Plan for Housing and Community Development (Consolidated Plan) and Fair Housing Equity Plan (Equity Plan). What is a Consolidated Plan? Montana is assessing its affordable housing and community development needs and market conditions and making data-driven decisions on how to use federal funding. Using data and public input, the State will determine priority needs and goals that will guide spending over the next five years for Community Development Block Grant (CDBG), HOME Investment Partnerships Program (HOME), Emergency Solutions Grant (ESG), and National Housing Trust Fund (HTF) funds. What is an Equity Plan? In an effort to affirmatively further fair housing, the Departments are developing a Fair Housing Equity Plan that will be used to identify fair housing issues in Montana’s communities. Using local, state, and federal data, fair housing goals will be established to address fair housing priorities over the next five years. Your input is valuable. To inform the development of the Consolidated Plan and Equity Plan, the public is invited to attend a regional meeting to discuss community development and fair housing needs. Meetings will be held in Hardin, Libby and Glasgow. For convenience and accessibility, in-person and virtual formats will be offered at two separate times per location.
