Other Programs
Section 8
The Public Housing Authority of Butte has 21 Section 8 Housing Choice Vouchers. 

In the Section 8 Program, participants must not exceed the income guidelines set by HUD and they must have criminal background checks.  The Section 8 participants rent units in the private market.  They can rent houses, apartments, or mobile homes.  The units are inspected before a participant can move into the unit and the units are inspected annually thereafter.

Participants pay 30% of their monthly adjusted income for rent and utilities.  The Public Housing Authority of Butte pays the remainder of the rent directly to the landlords each month.

Shelter + Care
The Public Housing Authority of Butte has received funding for 12 participants for the Shelter + Care program.

Shelter + Care is very similar to the Section 8 program.  However, participants in the Shelter + Care program must be homeless and have case management services at the time they are admitted to the Shelter + Care program.

Since case management is a required component of this program, most of the Shelter + Care participants are clients of Western Montana Mental Health.  After being admitted to the Shelter + Care program, the participants find their own housing in the private market and follow the same rules as in the Section 8 program.

Homeownership
The Public Housing Authority of Butte has received approval from HUD to sell its 12 scattered site, single family homes.

The houses will be sold to the families who are currently residing in the houses.  If a family does not want to purchase his or her home he or she will be allowed to remain in the home as a renter.  The housing authority has received set aside funding from the Montana Board of Housing which will provide a discounted interest rate to the homebuyers.  

Resident Services Delivery Model Grant (RSDM) For Elderly and Disabled Tenants

Mission Statement


The mission of the RSDM Grant is to keep elderly and disabled tenants living in public housing healthy and living independently by providing free visits to the local YMCA, food and nutritional information, access to transportation services, on-site medical clinics and case management services.


Through a grant from the United States Department of Housing and Urban Development, the Public Housing Authority of Butte employs a part-time Program Coordinator/Case Manager and a part-time Wellness Program Coordinator. The Program Coordinator, Claudine Micone, meets with all elderly and disabled tenants annually to assess them and make sure they are receiving all of the local supports available to help them continue living independently, such as Meals on Wheels, monthly food boxes from the Butte Emergency Food Bank, and contact with numerous local service agencies that provide other supports and case management. The Wellness Program Coordinator, Cheri Faupel, organizes on-site activities such as Nursing Clinics, which are provided by Montana Tech’s Nursing Program, nutrition classes provided the Butte Silver Bow Food Stamp Nutrition Program, and annual memory screening clinics conducted by the Butte Community Health Center.
