A little over a year ago, Alex Gray of Missoula was homeless and living at the Johnson Street Emergency Shelter.
But then the Trinity Apartments, one of the largest affordable housing developments in Montana, were completed.
With 202 affordable rental homes at two different sites, the project was built with the help of numerous partners, including the nonprofit Homeword, the Missoula Housing Authority, the city, and the county.
For some of the people who found homes there, it was a lifesaver.
Gray was able to secure an emergency voucher to get an apartment at Maple Street Flats, and the stable housing has helped in his battle to overcome addiction issues.
“There’s services over here and case management and (addiction treatment) meetings, and a lot of different services offered,” Gray explained. “It’s very modest, but they’re very kind and it’s pet-friendly.”
