Human Resource Council

HRC was instrumental in getting local and state government respectively to sponsor and authorize a Housing Authority for the City of Missoula. When HUD legislation created rental assistance, HRC contracted with the Department of Commerce to bring it to our three counties.

Intervention on our part before the Montana Public Service Commission on behalf of residential rate payers resulted in the adoption of an inverted rate structure and a 15% year-round discount from Northwestern Energy for LIHEAP eligible households, and a low-income residential weatherization program.
