By completing this survey, residents will help Missoula County identify needs and gaps in services related to public infrastructure and facilities, economic development and housing. The feedback will inform Missoula County’s grant acquisition efforts and is the first step in determining how to prioritize applications for U.S. Department of Housing and Urban Development (HUD) funds through the Community Development Block Grant (CDBG) and HOME Investment Partnerships Program (HOME).

Examples of projects that may qualify for funding include:

• Temporary housing facilities, such as homeless or domestic violence shelters.
• Rehabilitation of owner-occupied homes with critical health and safety deficiencies.
• Improvements to community water and wastewater systems.
• Assisting businesses with job creation, job retention and job training through low-interest loans.

Please note that federal funding is not guaranteed for the priorities and needs listed in the survey.

Survey results will be presented in person during a county commissioners’ public hearing meeting at 2 p.m. Thursday, April 23.

• In-person location: 200 W. Broadway, Missoula County Courthouse, Sophie Moiese Room
• Virtual option: Residents can attend the meeting via Microsoft Teams. To join the meeting on your device, follow the links on the agenda that will be published on the Missoula County’s public meeting portal.
