Housing Veterans at the Valor House with the Missoula Housing Authority and Veterans Inc.

The Trail Less Traveled

Missoula Housing Authority (“MHA”) is an independent nonprofit public organization with a portfolio of 1,178 rent-restricted apartments and housing choice vouchers, providing affordable housing to more than 4,500 very low-, low and middle-income veterans, families with children, elderly and disabled, foster youth and homeless, as well as working Missoulians.

MHA is the second largest public housing authority in Montana and is recognized as a progressive, forward-thinking agency that creatively implements services and uses innovative development financing. Missoula Housing Authority’s mission is to provide quality housing solutions for low and middle-income households in Missoula and the surrounding area through creative partnerships and innovative development. MHA has been creating quality housing solutions since 1978.

Since 2005, Missoula Housing Authority (MHA) has operated Valor House, Montana’s first transitional apartments for homeless veterans, in partnership with the Veterans Administration and the Poverello Center. Valor House’s goals are to help homeless Veterans achieve residential stability, increase their skill levels and/or income, and obtain greater self-determination. Program participants live at Valor House for up to 2-years while accessing supportive services addressing the issues that led to homelessness with the goal of transitioning into sustainable permanent housing.

Veterans Inc. provides services throughout Montana and North Dakota. Staff are ready to assist Veterans through our Employment and Training Program; and Supportive Services for Veteran Families funded in part by the U.S. Department of Labor’s Homeless Veterans Reintegration Program.
