Montana Housing will pay the difference between 30 percent of the household’s current gross monthly income and their eligible housing assistance costs, up to $2,000 a month. Household income limits range from $75,000-$125,000 based on family size.

Homeowners in forbearance are also eligible. Montanans receiving other forms of housing assistance are not eligible.
