Scott Street-Ravara Housing Development

Are you interested in future home ownership at the Scott Street-Ravara housing project? Reach out to Hannah Kosel at Front Step Community Land Trust, hannah@frontstepclt.org. Thank you!

The Scott Street Ravara mixed-use, mixed-income development is planned on a portion of the former White Pine Sash facility in the Northside neighborhood.

The project includes 89 home ownership units on a 3-acre Community Land Trust. An estimated 53 percent of the home ownership units will be income restricted for households earning 120 percent of Area Median Income and below. The adjacent 5 acres is master planned for up to 220 housing units and an estimated 30,000 square feet of commercial space.

This project is a partnership among the City of Missoula, Ravara Development, LLC, an affiliate of Goodworks Development, LLC, City of Missoula Affordable Housing Trust Fund, Front Step Community Land Trust, Neighborworks Montana, First Security Bank, Montana Board of Investments, and the Missoula Redevelopment Agency.

What's Happening Now

Market-rate homes are currently available to view through the website ravarahomes.com.

In spring 2026, Front Step Community Land Trust will conduct weighted drawings for the homes available to income-qualified applicants earning up to 120 percent of Area Median Income. In a weighted drawing, households with additional members receive additional entries to ensure the limited homes with additional bedrooms are best matched with larger household sizes. Prospective home buyers are encouraged to visit Front Step's website and Area Median Income calculator to find out if the program is right for them and to learn more.

Thank you for your patience as construction activity to build new housing continues in your neighborhood!

Share Hi I am living in the Rodger st apartments very close to the new work being done. I’ve looked through the cleanup report for the area and am concerned about the topsoil and deeper soil being turned up and placed in piles very near my window.

Share Will the income restriction vary based on the number of persons who will be applying to live in an apartment here? I’m single and struggling but also make $16.50 an hour and that is viewed as “too much” by lots of low income resources on Facebook Share Will the income restriction vary based on the number of persons who will be applying to live in an apartment here?

This project is expected to create 89 new home ownership units. Of those, 51% will be reserved for those making up to 120% of Area Median Income. For a one-person household, that limit is currently $72,600 per year. This is the first application of the Missoula Redevelopment Agency's workforce housing program. That program gives us more tools to create housing that is attainable for more Missoulians, not just those at the very lowest income levels. This project uses a variety of tools and a public-private partnership to make this housing possible. You can learn more about this innovative project by watching the February 28 Housing, Redevelopment, and Community Programs Committee meeting or viewing the presentation slides.
