Strong communities start with informed homeowners. This spring, we are excited to partner with Homeword, Sustainable Communities for All, to support homebuyer education right here in the Flathead Valley.

Homeword is a local nonprofit dedicated to creating sustainable communities by helping people achieve successful homeownership. Through education, financial counseling, and advocacy, Homeword works to ensure individuals and families have the knowledge and tools they need to make informed housing decisions. Their programs have had a lasting impact in Kalispell and throughout Northwest Montana by strengthening financial stability and increasing access to housing education.
