Seeking Two Leaders for Board of Directors

Hello!

The Big Sky Community Housing Trust had a groundbreaking first year as an independent nonprofit that will propel its mission of improving the availability of affordable housing in the Big Sky community in 2021.

BSCHT's goal is to support the local economy and enhance the character of the community through the implementation of a variety of housing strategies. One strategy is to create deed-restricted homeownership opportunities for locals at subsidized rates. By this spring, BSCHT expects builders to complete MeadowView Condominiums, the community's first land trust development. Currently, all 52 MeadowView units are under contract by local, working families.

Additionally, BSCHT increases affordable rental opportunities for locals. BSCHT hopes to expand the number of rental units in the market by converting more vacation rentals into homes for the community's workforce. BSCHT is also exploring rental development opportunities with both public and private partners to build much needed workforce apartments.

For more information about RENT LOCAL or other BSCHT programs, please visit bigskyhousingtrust.com or email info@bigskyhousingtrust.com.

Big Sky Community Housing Trust has two open positions on its Board of Directors in 2021.

The Board of Directors is composed of community leaders who serve for a minimum of one year, using their time and skills to be objective decision makers and advocates for the Housing Trust. Members are asked to actively participate in monthly meetings and fully engage in securing the financial resources and partnerships necessary for BSCHT to advance its mission of providing a diversity of housing affordable for the Big Sky community.

Interested parties should contact Laura Seyfang by January 20. (laura@bigskyhousingtrust.com)

Down Payment Assistance Campaign Update

During December, BSCHT raised over $200,000 to help local families with down payments on their first homes. BSCHT's down payment assistance program loans up to $20,000 to buyers that they return when they resell their homes. The program then recycles the funds by making them available to the next buyer. So far, the program has loaned over $500,000 to MeadowView buyers.
