Neighbors Building Community Since 1996

Front Step CLT is a collective of neighbors building community power, thriving neighborhoods, and affordable homes.

What We’re About

We demolish walls that restrict wealth to the few. We use land trusts, housing co-ops, and deed restrictions to make permanently affordable homeownership attainable for all. We push for equitable city policies and zoning changes that mend the rifts created by gentrification and displacement. We open doors to each other, honoring the Missoulians who’ve built their lives here—and making room for the ones on their way.

Our Work

Homeownership

Own a Front Step CLT home and join a movement for lasting affordability. With community-owned land, we ensure homes stay accessible for generations to come.

Community

Join us in building a Missoula where everyone belongs through gatherings, partnerships, and advocacy for policies and projects that strengthen how we live together.

Advocacy

Fight for fair zoning, anti-displacement measures, and permanent affordability to ensure Missoula stays a place where everyone can build their future, no matter their income.
