NWMT has worked to become the gold standard in housing education and counseling, an innovator in single-family lending, a reliable source of gap financing for developers, and a beacon of independence for residents of manufactured home parks.

Since 1998, the Montana HomeOwnership Network, now dba NeighborWorks Montana, has built a system of partners to create homeownership opportunities for hard-working Montana families. Collaboration is one of the core values of our organization because we know that many can accomplish more than one can achieve alone.

Also in 2008, NWMT became the first organization to partner with ROC USA, bringing their manufactured home park resident ownership model to Montana. Serving as Certified Technical Assistant Providers, we are able to help guide residents of manufactured home parks to become resident owned. Resident ownership provides residents with rent stability, control over maintenance and repairs, and permanently affordable housing. There are currently 19 resident owned cooperatives in Montana, representing 720 homes that have been preserved. In Park County, we serve three ROCs-Sleeping Giant Community, View Vista, and Golden Age Village.
