Step by step

How to use it, step by step

The steps to ask for the help, with what the program’s page says. What its page leaves unclear is below, in the questions.

See how to apply

  1. Confirm it is still open

    Its page said it was open when we checked. These programs run out of money: look again before you start.

  2. Find out who takes your application

    Check the official page for how to apply: with Montana Department of Public Health and Human Services or with a local agency in your area. If you can’t find it, call Montana Department of Public Health and Human Services and ask.

  3. Have your papers ready

    Ask which papers they need before your appointment, and keep a copy of everything you hand in.

  4. Check the quote before you sign

    If the program shows you a quote or asks you to sign a contract, read it calmly: what work it includes, who does it and when it ends.

Before you call

What to ask

Its page leaves 5 points unclear. Write them down for when you talk to Montana Department of Public Health and Human Services.

What its page does not say

  • What is the most it gives, and how is it calculated?
  • Is there an income limit for my household?
  • Which immigration status or residency documents do you ask for?
  • Do you accept an ITIN?
  • Do you have materials or staff in Spanish?

Worth asking for this kind of help

  • Which repairs does it cover, and which not?
  • Is there a waiting list where I live? How long is it?
  • Do I have to pay anything back if I sell the home or move?
  • Who does the work, and who checks it at the end?

How we checked this program

We read the program's official pages on November 6, 2026 and copied their text as it appears on them. We add no amounts or requirements those pages do not state, and a program is listed as open or closed only when its page says so.

We check every program again. If more than 180 days pass without a check, the page says so.
