OUR MISSION
At HRDC, we envision a world in which individuals don’t have to chose between heating their homes or feeding their families, where jobs pay a living wage and homes are affordable, where children receive early learning to promote healthy development, and all community members are provided equal opportunity, free from economic barriers, to achieve their full human potential.
An estimated 142,000 or 14 percent of Montana’s community members live in poverty. Montana ranks 42nd in the nation for number of low-income working families; 47th for low-income minority working families; 41st for children in low-income working families; and 42nd for jobs in occupations paying below poverty.
