Mountain Home Montana provides shelter for young mothers who need a place to live, and a network of support as they create safe, stable, and nurturing homes of their own. In our seven-bedroom Bonnie Hamilton Home, young mothers share a safe base from which to pursue education and employment, enhance parenting skills, and seek longer-term affordable housing. Our group living home operates within a Rights & Responsibilities framework. Each mother and child has a bed and a crib in her own room, with shared meals prepared each night. Case managers work with residents to create individualized goals, and work with each family’s unique needs and strengths. Residents can access the Mountain Home Montana Community Center, therapists, and employment & education staff for support at anytime.
Mountain Home Montana operates five Independent Living Apartment units. In order to qualify for a Mountain Home Apartment, you must first reside in Mountain Home's Maternity Group Home. Located on Mountain Home's South Avenue campus with access to case managers, therapists, employment specialists, and the Mountain Home Community Center, the Mountain Home Apartments are ideally situated to provide support for young mothers and children experiencing homelessness. While each resident has her own small kitchen, bathroom, bedroom, and living area, the shared hallway, communal laundry, and outdoor playground provide opportunities to enjoy the company of other young families.
