What can we learn from the “Montana Miracle”? Emily Hamilton examines Montana's 2023 housing reforms and the triumph led by Governor Gianforte’s Housing Task Force. The task force, a diverse group representing a multitude of interests, devised immediate, actionable solutions, resulting in the housing reform miracle.
The task force tackled Montana's surging housing prices by rolling out pivotal legislation, overhauling restrictive zoning laws, and championing diverse housing options. Their efforts culminated in seven revolutionary laws. Montana's successful strategy can serve as a model for housing task forces in other states.
