Rocky Mountain Development Council

Who We Are

Rocky Mountain Development Council, Inc. is a nonprofit Community Action Agency (CAA). In Montana, we are one of ten such organizations called Human Resource Development Councils (HRDCs).

Like our 1,000 counterparts around the nation, we exist to improve the lives of community members and promote self-sufficiency for individuals and families. We work primarily, but not solely, in Broadwater, Jefferson, and Lewis & Clark Counties.

What We Do

Rocky Mountain Development Council, Inc. strives to improve quality of life and promote self-sufficiency for individuals and families.

Rocky is a Community Action Agency, formed in 1965 after President Lyndon Johnson declared a "war on poverty" in response to a national poverty rate of 19%. Several pieces of legislation were passed and this law is how Community Action Programs were born. As a community resource for individuals and families, Rocky is committed to improving quality of life, especially for low-income citizens, in Lewis & Clark, Broadwater, and Jefferson Counties. Currently, Rocky encompasses senior services, affordable housing, energy assistance, child care, Head Start and provides senior volunteer opportunities.
