Pathways to Housing Stability

The City of Missoula is seeking proposals for the Pathways to Housing Stability project, which aims to improve housing stability and reduce returns to houselessness through targeted, long-term housing support services. The project will partner with nonprofit, faith-based, and behavioral health agencies to build a housing retention case management program. The goal is to create teams that provide personalized services to address substance use recovery, income barriers, health needs, and other factors that impact long-term housing stability. • The project will focus on providing services to individuals who are unhoused or at risk of becoming unhoused, including those impacted by opioid use. • The selected organization will be expected to provide a comprehensive program that includes housing retention case management, post-tenancy supportive services, and other forms of support. • The program will be expected to serve a minimum of 75% of program participants who will retain stable housing after working with housing retention case management teams for 12 months. • The project will be funded through the Montana Opioid Abatement Trust, with a budget of $945,000 available for the project. • The project will run from July 1, 2026, through June 30, 2028.
