Great Northern Development Corporation 2022
Northeast Montana Supportive Housing Planning Grant
The Great Northern Development Company (GNDC) will implement a supportive housing learning collaborative that engages stakeholders across a six-county region of northeast Montana and the Fort Peck Reservation. Located in Wolf Point, GNDC provides housing education, first-time home buyer assistance, home rehabilitation, and affordable housing finance services in northeast Montana. The project will create a registry of tenancy support services and care management providers that serve the housing insecure and homeless population and an action plan to increase housing access and coordinate service providers with clients engaged in housing programs. GNDC intends to engage city councils, county commissions, and chambers of commerce in the region to identify key partners. GNDC will contract with the Corporation for Supportive Housing to facilitate stakeholder engagement, community education, and the development of best practices to share with the community. Funding will support the contract with the Corporation for Supportive Housing, project management, and stakeholder convenings.
