July 2020 – 2020 has led to massive changes around the globe, and the local
Habitat for Humanity office is stepping up. In March, Heather Harp, who holds a
position on City Council was named Habitat for Humanity of Missoula (Habitat)’s
new Executive Director. Hitting the ground running, Harp is trying out a new
angle for Habitat’s largest fundraising effort of the year; a raffle prize
selection with the addition of a private lawn-chair piano concert, played by
Harp. </span></p>

leading Habitat’s mission in Missoula has been a wonderfully exciting

biggest challenges is consistently raising awareness and funds. I’m delighted
to lend my skills to our fundraiser and also offer something that we’ve been
missing out on as Missoulians - a chance to gather and connect through music.”</span></p>

These homes are then sold to the families who helped construct them through a

Habitat’s 30-30-0-250 mortgage program, allows families to purchase a 30-year
mortgage, with payments set at 30% of their income, zero interest, and the
contribution of 250 hours of “sweat equity” work as the home is built.</span></p>
