Support Our Mission
There is no quick answer to address the lack of affordable homes for Big Sky locals, a common problem in other resort towns. However, our community can still take action, which is the mission of the Big Sky Community Housing Trust.
WHERE YOU CAN HELP
Help workers in Big Sky achieve housing stability and acquire their own homes. Every contribution, no matter
the size, makes a difference. Your support is an investment in the fabric of our unique and vibrant community.
SELECT FROM ANY OF THE NEEDS BELOW, OR
Down Payment Assistance
BSCHT created a down payment assistance program that loans up to $20,000 to buyers that they return when they resell their homes. The program then recycles the funds by making them available to the next buyer.
Rent Local
Building enough housing to address the needs of business owners and their employees will take years. An immediate solution is to convert some of the thousands of existing vacation rentals on the market into long term rentals.
Future Developments
The current real estate market focuses almost entirely on luxury homes, leaving locals unable to afford to live in their own community. Local businesses continually lose employees to long commutes and skyrocketing housing costs.
Operating Costs
In 2017, the Chamber of Commerce incubated the idea to form Big Sky Community Housing Trust to address the dramatic growth in our community that has caused massive housing shortages.
Investment Partners
Be part of the solution by participating as an investment partner in a future development. Significant tax benefits may be available.
