Public and Community Facilities

Public and Community Facility Grants

Montana's CDBG Public and Community Facilities grants help local governments fund construction or rehabilitation of infrastructure and facilities that primarily benefit low- to moderate-income (LMI) Montanans, i.e. individuals earning less than 80% of the area median income. These projects can target LMI residents and provide direct benefits by improving or creating access to suitable living environments or necessary services, or these projects can provide an area-wide benefit to the entire community as long as at least 51% of the project’s beneficiaries are determined to be LMI. 

Certain projects such as senior centers, food banks, homeless shelters, youth homes, or head start centers are presumed to serve a limited clientele that is primarily LMI. Therefore, determining exactly what percent of project beneficiaries qualify as LMI is not required. Other projects, such as a wastewater improvements or water treatment improvements provide benefits to the entire community and are considered to have area-wide benefit because both LMI and non-LMI residents are served. Therefore, applicants must document at least 51% of the project’s beneficiaries qualify as LMI for projects considered to have an area-wide benefit.

The Rocky Mountain Health Foundation's Healthcare Fund aims to enhance access and affordability in healthcare.

The Foundation is dedicated to empowering nonprofits that strengthen community health, with the next application cycle set for fall 2026.

The Long-Term Care Provider Fund aims to enhance the health and safety of residents in long-term care facilities by expanding the services of the Long-Term Care Ombudsman Program. This initiative ensures that advocates for nursing home residents provide essential information about their rights. Funded by the Illinois Department of Aging, the program complies with the federal Older Americans Act, which mandates every state to have an Ombudsman Program that addresses complaints and advocates for improvements in the long-term care system.
