Hi Lana –
Thanks for reaching out. As Mike said, the City of Bozeman does not have a housing
authority but a local non-profit, HRDC, does manage all the federal housing programs you
would typically encounter with a housing authority.
To get you started you should visit: Find Housing — HRDC to see the list of affordable
rentals in the HRDC service area. This listing includes properties in Bozeman, but also
includes some listings in Livingston, Belgrade, and Manhattan (all nearby communities). I
believe Darlinton Manor in Bozeman has a short waitlist at the moment so you may want to
check with them soon.
I would also suggest enrolling (if you haven’t already) in the Housing Choice Voucher
program. Qualified households can obtain long-term rental assistance. Participants
typically pay 30% of their adjusted gross monthly income to rent which is pretty helpful in a
market as expensive as Bozeman. You can find the application here: Apply for Rental Help
— HRDC
In terms of finding employment, I would suggest beginning your search at Bozeman Job
Service. They can be reached at: (406) 582-9200.
Hope this information is helpful.
Thanks,
Brian

Hi Lana,
The City of Bozeman does not have a Housing Authority. I have included our Community Housing
Program Manager that may be able to suggest some of the income based housing opportunities
that are available.
Thank you,
