The Fair Housing Equity Plan has been developed and published after an extensive public input process. The public is now encouraged to review the draft document and provide feedback. Montana’s Equity Plan seeks to inform the Consolidated Plan, which is currently under development, and serves the purpose of assessing Montana’s fair housing issues and their underlying causes, as well as setting fair housing goals. It details the State’s analysis and its proposed strategies for achieving equity in housing, which includes overcoming patterns of segregation and discrimination. The Equity Plan will be submitted to the U.S. Department of Housing and Urban Development on Sept. 30, 2024, for final review and approval as a requirement of HUD formula grant funding for housing and community development activities that are supported by the following programs: Community Development Block Grant, HOME Investment Partnerships Program, Housing Trust Fund and Emergency Solutions Grant.
