Missoula Housing Authority’s mission is to provide quality housing solutions for low and middle-income households in Missoula and the surrounding area through creative partnerships and innovative development. MHA has been creating quality housing solutions since 1978.</em></p><p><em> </em></p><p><em>Since 2005, Missoula Housing Authority (MHA) has operated Valor House, Montana’s first transitional apartments for homeless veterans, in partnership with the Veterans Administration and the Poverello Center. Valor House’s goals are to help homeless Veterans achieve residential stability, increase their skill levels and/or income, and obtain greater self-determination. Program participants live at Valor House for up to 2-years while accessing supportive services addressing the issues that led to homelessness with the goal of transitioning into sustainable permanent housing.</em></p><p><br></p><p><em>Veterans Inc. provides services throughout Montana and North Dakota.
