Thank you to everyone who participated in our #HomeProud2025 Giveaway! We were blown away by the heartfelt stories they shared about what makes them proud to be a homeowner. From the joy of building a safe space for their familes, to the satisfaction of hard work paying off, to the pride of creating a place that is truly their own—their journeys are both inspiring and uplifting.
Homeownership is more than just having a roof over your head. It’s about stability, community, and the freedom to shape your future. These stories remind us of the importance of creating opportunities for more Montanans to achieve this dream.
We hope their words will spark inspiration for others who are considering taking the leap into homeownership. And for anyone ready to start their journey, NeighborWorks Montana is here to help with education, resources, and support every step of the way.
Together, we can make the dream of homeownership possible for more people in our communities.

We love that we're able to make the space our own, and that our four-legged son gets his own yard!

We spent three years searching, and it was all worth it. Our new house has the everything we were looking for, with room for our daughter to play and for us to grow as a family. We couldn’t be more thrilled to finally have a place to call home!
Dillion & Kali
We love that we're putting our money toward something we own and take care of! I love making the house our own with small DIY projects and having space for houseplants, a garden, and a fenced yard where the kids and pup can play!

I love the security of knowing we never have to worry about a lease being renewed, we forever have a home. We can now settle into our home knowing we don't ever have to live under someone else's conditions and can make our house a real home for our family.

What I love most about owning my home is that it’s my own space where I get to plant my flowers, decorate and fix it up however I want to inside and out. It’s nice finally having my own home and I’m proud of it!

What I love most about being a homeowner is the freedom to make my space truly my own. There’s something really rewarding about having the ability to improve, customize, and take pride in a place that reflects who I am. It’s more than just a roof over my head; it’s a space that I’ve earned and can shape however I want.
