Stories of Impact

Through the RHC, we are seeing the transformative power of collaboration. The coalition is a forum where stakeholders, who might never have interacted otherwise, join forces to identify common goals, coordinate efforts, and drive meaningful change. From Bozeman to West Yellowstone, from Three Forks to Big Sky, the collective wisdom of our diverse community is fueling progress.

There are so many incredible minds in the room at the Regional Housing Coalition meetings that I know I could pick any one person’s brain for a whole day. I walk away from every single meeting feeling better at my job.
— David OConnor, Executive Director, Big Sky Community Housing Trust
We may have different issues down here, but I think this group is committed to making sure that the conversations and outcomes are being distributed equitably, and I’ve been pretty impressed with that.
— Dan Walker, Town Manager, West Yellowstone
The regional collaboration is really important for so many reasons, for making sure that we’re all working towards the same thing and not competing with each other for limited funding streams.
— Heather Grenier, Executive Director, HRDC IX
