Bill Overview

Analyzed Economic Effects

3 provisions identified: 2 benefits, 0 costs, 1 mixed.

Housing fund keeps past and future earnings

All interest and other income earned by the Montana housing infrastructure revolving loan fund stays in the account. The rule applies to earnings going forward and back to June 14, 2023. Keeping these earnings in the fund grows money available for housing infrastructure loans and financing.

More financing tools for housing projects

The Board of Investments can use the housing fund to secure bonds for eligible projects. The Board can also use interest income to finance ownership or preservation of mobile home parks and other multifamily housing. These tools help more projects line up funding, but do not give cash directly to households.

Adds $50 million to housing fund with density rule

By June 30, 2025, the state treasurer transfers $50 million into the housing infrastructure revolving loan fund. Those transferred dollars can finance only residential projects with at least three housing units per acre. The density rule applies to the transferred money, not to the fund’s other balances.
