Powder Light Leasing in Early 2023
Businesses: Join Waitlist for Employee Housing
Designed for the seasonal workforce, Powder Light offers double-occupancy bedrooms with shared living spaces. *BSCHT will control ten units (96 beds) in Phase 2 of Powder Light and lease them to businesses as employee housing. BSCHT anticipates occupancy of Phase 2 in early 2023.

If demand from local businesses exceeds the space available, BSCHT will use a drawing to select the final tenants. BSCHT anticipates knowing more specific leasing information in September.

Lone Mountain Land Company constructed and funded the project. Neither Resort Tax or other public funding sources contributed to Powder Light. LMLC occupied Phase 1 in June of 2022.
RENT LOCAL Celebrates One Year
144 Locals Housed in Program's First Year
Because building new inventory will take years, the RENT LOCAL Incentive Program creates immediate inventory by using cash incentives to flip vacation rentals and vacant homes into long-term rentals.

BSCHT still has funding left in 2022 for owners who are new to long-term renting. Please visit BSCHT's website for more information.

RENT LOCAL is made possible by generous contributions from Resort Tax, Moonlight Community Foundation, Spanish Peaks Community Foundation, Yellowstone Club Community Foundation, and 66 generous homeowners in Big Sky.
HOME SHARE Properties Needed
Help Owners Who RENT LOCAL Visit Big Sky
RENT LOCAL incentivizes homeowners to rent to locals instead of vacationers. HOME SHARE makes it possible for these owners to still visit Big Sky by providing alternative, upscale accommodations.

Because of RENT LOCAL's success, BSCHT needs additional HOME SHARE inventory.

A few weeks can make a BIG difference. By donating your luxury home to BSCHT's HOME SHARE program, you help create IMMEDIATE inventory for locals serving the Big Sky community.

Email BSCHT to learn more about HOME SHARE.

406 AGAVE
"The idea to make 406 Agave was born under the Spanish Peaks that sit just north of our home in Big Sky, Montana. Our simple idea was this: to bring a high-quality agave home to Big Sky Country, one that will complement this wild and beautiful landscape. Here, the mountains bring people together. We hope our tequila will do the same.

406 Agave is distilled, bottled, and produced at a generations-old family distillery in Jalisco, Mexico."

"Housing survey reveals need across Big Sky spectrum"

"A survey recently released by the Big Sky Community Housing Trust largely reiterates what most resort town residents already know: Housing is a critical issue that impacts people across the community spectrum.

The set of surveys, one offered to Big Sky employers and one to employees, was intended to inform the housing trust’s future work as well as to characterize the local workforce, according to BSCHT Executive Director David O’Connor."
