MISSOULA, Mont. â The City of Missoula is recruiting members for the Affordable Housing Citizen Oversight Committee which will oversee the Affordable Housing Trust Fund.
Missoula City Council adopted the trust fund on July 20, 2020 and is an ongoing funding source to meet affordable housing needs. The committee will decide funding policies and create an annual allocation plan which will determine what housing projects the city invests in each year. Emily Harris-Shears, Affordable Housing Trust Fund Administrator, said they are looking for a wide range of experience.
âItâs really important to us that this committee is reflective of the community,â Harris-Shears said. âAnd that it is filled with the diversity of race, economic condition, housing experience, background and expertise.â
