'A transformational community': Habitat for Humanity offers more details on Rose Hills in East Helena

Helena Area Habitat for Humanity has unveiled more details for its new housing development that could break ground in East Helena as early as 2026 and eventually bring in 1,500 homes.

And a Habitat official said they have recently created another nonprofit to deal with land development for the project.

Jacob Kuntz, Habitat’s executive director, talked about the large housing project Friday to about 80 people at the Holter Museum and unveiled its logo and brand:

“Rose Hills: A neighborhood for everyone.”

“It’s a perfect name for what we think we be a transformational community,” he said.
