Habitat For Humanity Missoula Inc
About Habitat For Humanity Missoula Inc
In Missoula, Habitat for Humanity helps working families do something that can feel out of reach, build and buy a home they can afford. It also repairs owner-occupied homes, including repair help for veteran families, so people can stay rooted where they already live. Then there’s the ReStore, where donated furniture, building materials, tools, and appliances help support the housing work behind the scenes.
What sets Habitat for Humanity of Missoula apart is how directly it ties housing to the whole life of a home, building, repairs, and the ReStore that helps fund it all. Its homeownership work is centered on Missoula families earning 40% to 80% of Area Median Income, which keeps the focus tightly on the people this work is meant to serve.
