c) Home Investment Partnerships (HOME) Program - This program is a federal block grant program administered by the BOH but is initially directed by the United States Department of Housing and Urban Development (HUD). It is designed to create affordable housing for low-income households.

The Montana Board of Housing does not only offer programs for first time homebuyers. It has also created programs that are intended for renters and existing homeowners who are looking to rehabilitate their homes.
