Bozeman, Montana

The Affordable Housing Land Trust is a coordinated and collaborative project that has overcome major obstacles and received national recognition for providing housing for at-risk populations. Single-family homes, apartment buildings, a Head Start Center, and a playground and park now make up an affordable neighborhood in Bozeman, Montana. Downtown Partnerships was created to redevelop Bozeman's well loved downtown through wide community involvement. Projects of the partnership include elementary students championing the rebuilding of the old Opera House arch and a $12 million project to clean up a brownfield site for a public library. The project will ultimately preserve historic buildings and create an aesthetic and safe community. Many local organizations donate their time and energy to create programs and facilities with and for area youth. The most significant project, which included the building of a skate park, was identified and co-led by youth with community members.
