Mountain Home Montana

Mountain Home Montana is a tax-exempt, woman-owned nonprofit corporation and community development corporation registered with SAM.gov since June 2006. The organization specializes in providing comprehensive shelter and support services to vulnerable populations experiencing or at risk of homelessness, with a particular focus on pregnant and parenting youth and young mothers. Through federal grant awards, Mountain Home Montana delivers a range of integrated services combining safe housing with mental and behavioral health treatment, parenting support, recovery activities, and child care to address the complex needs of its clientele in underserved rural Montana communities.

Mountain Home Montana has demonstrated substantial federal grant funding success across multiple agencies and programs. The organization currently operates under two active HHS Administration for Children and Families (ACF) grants: a $348,968 Transitional Living for Homeless Youth Program grant (CFDA 93.550) awarded September 30, 2025, through September 29, 2028, which provides 18-21 months of supportive housing and comprehensive services including parenting skills, child development, family budgeting, health and nutrition education, and employment assistance for pregnant and parenting youth ages 16 to under 22; and a prior Maternity Group Home Supportive Housing Program grant (September 30, 2022, through September 29, 2025). Additionally, Mountain Home Montana received substantial funding from the Substance Abuse and Mental Health Services Administration (SAMHSA) Center for Substance Abuse Treatment beginning September 30, 2023, through September 29, 2028, for a shelter and care program serving pregnant and postpartum women with mental and behavioral health treatment, parenting support, and recovery activities, projected to serve 73-200 young women and up to 492 unduplicated individuals annually across a five-year cycle. The organization previously received a SAMHSA Center for Mental Health Services grant (September 30, 2021, through September 29, 2023) focused on Two-Generational Mental Health Expansion, which expanded clinical mental health services by 55% through intensive outpatient care, home visiting services, and telehealth capabilities for mothers ages 14-29 and their children. Mountain Home Montana also serves as a sub-grantee under the State of Montana Department of Health and Human Services, receiving TANF SCH sub-award funding as of July 1, 2024. The organization's service model emphasizes wraparound care, harm reduction, substance use disorder treatment, trauma-informed therapeutic services, and case management tailored to address the severe mental illness, co-occurring substance use disorders, and homelessness experiences prevalent among its client population, with particular attention to serving American Indian and Alaska Native families.
