Front Step Community Land Trust

Burns Street Center then and now. This space was a shipping warehouse, and now it’s our office and home to the Western Montana Growers Co-op, Soft Landing’s United We Eat program, and Burns Catering. We’re visioning more ways for this space to serve the community…more to come on that in months to come. 😉

Save the date! We're celebrating the past, present, and future of the Northside neighborhood with a block party on Sunday, July 26. We'd love to hear from folks who want to share neighborhood lore - get in touch with us if you're an OG Northsider.

We’re back for another fun-filled Housing Night at the Paddleheads game on July 17!

General admission tickets are $5 if purchased through the link below, and proceeds support your favorite housing nonprofits in Missoula.

We’ll be hosting a carnival with games and Homeword is raffling off a stand-up paddleboard!

Invitation to comment! Front Step Community Land Trust is partnering with Habitat for Humanity to acquire the site at 2220 13th St and develop two three-bedroom townhomes that will remain permanently affordable. Learn more about this project and submit comment by July 1 at our site --> https://www.frontstepclt.org/public-notice

Congratulations to one of our newest homeowners, Lynette!
As a single mom, Lynette says she's extra proud to become a homeowner.
Lynette was born and raised in Missoula and works at the University of Montana.
She was tired of renting and was looking for a permanent home for her 10-year-old daughter and their cat, Chrysty. Last winter, she saw a social media post about a Community Land Trust home for sale.
"I saw that it was available and so I applied the same day I saw it," she says.
Earlier this spring, her family settled in and now she's picking out paint colors - teal, blue, magenta rose, whatever they want.
“Now that I have my own place, we can make this whatever we want it to be. And make it homey and make it safe for us.”
Lynette says she's already meeting friendly neighbors. Welcome, Lynette!

FYI: Montana still has same-day voter registration, but you'll need to head to the Missoula County Elections Center on Russell to register and vote in today's primary! Useful info here from The Pulp.

What Missoula voters need to know before June 2 – The Pulp A Montana court has preserved same-day voter registration ahead of the June 2 primary, but new ID rules are still in effect. Here's what's changed.
