Montana Home Investment Partnerships (HOME) Program

Community Housing Development Organization (CHDO)

A CHDO is a private nonprofit organization certified by the HOME program to perform housing-related activities involving ownership, sponsorship and development. Each CHDO must demonstrate staff capacity and development in order to retain CHDO status annually. For this reason, a CHDO may not subcontract all program-related duties on a continual basis. A CHDO may have a multi-county service area; however, it may not cover the entire State of Montana. Organizations applying to become a CHDO in the State of Montana must meet HUD requirements as outlined in the CHDO application.

If your organization would like to become qualified as a Community Housing Development Organization, contact the HOME program at 406.841.2820.
