Working Group Impact
Unhoused to Housed Initiative
The Unhoused to Housed Work Group, a key team within the Regional Housing Coalition, was formed to address the pressing issue of homelessness across Gallatin County. Comprised of local housing experts, nonprofits, government agencies, and service providers, the group’s purpose is to develop effective, coordinated solutions that provide both immediate relief and long-term stability for those experiencing homelessness. This dedicated team led the creation of the comprehensive regional housing strategy, bringing together diverse perspectives to craft a plan that unifies efforts and maximizes resources across the county.
Stories of Impact
Through the RHC, we are seeing the transformative power of collaboration. The coalition is a forum where stakeholders, who might never have interacted otherwise, join forces to identify common goals, coordinate efforts, and drive meaningful change. From Bozeman to West Yellowstone, from Three Forks to Big Sky, the collective wisdom of our diverse community is fueling progress.
“There are so many incredible minds in the room at the Regional Housing Coalition meetings that I know I could pick any one person’s brain for a whole day. I walk away from every single meeting feeling better at my job.”
“We may have different issues down here, but I think this group is committed to making sure that the conversations and outcomes are being distributed equitably, and I’ve been pretty impressed with that.”
“The regional collaboration is really important for so many reasons, for making sure that we’re all working towards the same thing and not competing with each other for limited funding streams.”
