Gallatin Housing Impact Fund

The Gallatin Housing Impact Fund was created to preserve and expand housing solutions in Gallatin County. Investments from local financial institutions, businesses, and individuals are pooled into a fund that can provide the low-interest flexible financing that is needed for affordable homes to be preserved and created.

Eligible projects are those serving renters with incomes up to $70,000 per household and homeowners with incomes up to $150,000 per household. At least 60% of the fund dollars and projects funded will serve households making less than 80% of the area median income.
