Owner-Built Workforce Housing Program
Our three homeowners have OFFICIALLY moved into the homes they built with Helena Area Habitat for Humanity over the last year! Congratulations to them and our partners Trust Montana, USDA Rural Development, Altana Federal Credit Union, Home Center, and Beartooth Electric Cooperative for all the legwork it takes to make a program like this possible.
"I get to share the rest of my life with my children, in a home that's forever ours."

Congratulations to new homeowner, Tanya!!
"I am so thankful and grateful to be a part of this groundbreaking project of Habitat for Humanity and our community. It is changing lives."

Congratulations to new homeowner, Kristen!!
Applications for the 2022-2023 cycle of the Owner-Built Housing program are now open!
