We want to hear from you!

Your feedback is key to strengthening the version that will go to the Affordable Housing Resident Oversight Committee later this summer for final approval. The Administrative Policies will impact who can apply for funds, what projects are supported, and who benefits from the Trust Fund. Please share your feedback on the policies by Tuesday, June 1, 2021.

The attached Process Document outlines the stakeholder involved in the review and the timeline.

    Source of Income Discrimination Protection Policy Survey – The Policy is found on page thirteen of the policy document.  

    Properties developed with Trust Fund investments are prohibited from discriminating against applicants for housing based on their sources of income.  Applicants cannot be denied because of a Section 8 Voucher, a third-party supporting payment of their rent or informal income sources.

    The City of Missoula will take all reasonable steps to minimize displacement of tenants as a result of projects funded with investments from the Trust Fund. To this end, when displacement or relocation is an unavoidable component of a proposed project, the developer/organization must submit a relocation plan with their initial funding application. The relocation plan must address the following areas of how it will support existing tenants: 

    • Identification of Community Liaison; a central point of contact for tenants to speak with to answer questions and provide information about plans and opportunities to relocate and to communicate with the City and non-governmental organizations to coordinate provision of service or assistance 
    • Notification of tenants; written plan to give timely, sufficient and clear written notice of intent to change use of property
    • Compensation and reduction of financial hardships caused by the displacement or relocation; plan to offer to support tenants financially, including but not limited to-financial compensation to support relocation, foregoing rent for last months of a lease to allow tenants to accumulate funds to relocate, providing a stipend to defray costs, etc.
