Scott Street-Ravara Housing Development

Ravara Homes are now available!

Ravara includes both market-rate homes and permanently attainable homes through a community land trust model. The homes are part of a planned community which is expected to include a small neighborhood grocery, restaurant, a coffee shop, office space, and other neighborhood amenities. When complete, this will be the largest community land trust development in the state!

Applications open Feb. 9 for the income-qualified homes at Ravara, which include studios, 1-bedrooms, and 2-bedrooms, priced between $176K-$287K. The income-qualified homes are available to buyers earning up to 120% of Area Median Income, which is about $94,000 for a household of two people. Check out Front Step’s AMI Calculator to find out if the program is right for you and get started on an application. For more information: https://www.frontstepclt.org/for-homebuyers

Thanks for your question.
The master plan for this project calls for another 200 units of housing on the 5-acre parcel south of Charlo Street, along with an approximately 30,000 square foot commercial building. This portion of the project is still in the planning phase, and we do not yet know whether the additional units will be for sale or for rent.
Regards,
The Project Team

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.
