Let’s Make This Place a Home
Homes Are A Start—We Need Much More Than A Building To Thrive
Front Step CLT: Where Neighbors Build Community.
We know it takes much more than affordable homes to keep our communities thriving: we need improved access to essential services and green space; neighborhood infrastructure and gathering spots; safe, walkable, and transit-friendly streets; strong networks of knowledge and resource sharing, and so much more. Creating these lasting changes starts by building community power.
Front Step CLT is a collective of neighbors gathering, sharing, and building so that everyone who calls Missoula home can thrive.
Through our organizing and engagement work, we strive to promote connected communities of belonging for all Missoulians, and support opportunities for neighbors to come together and build skills to make the changes they want to see in our city.
As part of our work toward community equity, we currently focus our organizing in Missoula’s historically least-invested in and low-income neighborhoods, including the Northside, Westside, Franklin to the Fort, and River Road communities.
Together, we can create thriving communities one step at a time.
