Major Activities

Activity 2

Education: hri launched a major new initiative called the revamp program - an acronym for renewed, value-added missoula products. Revamp empowers people to transform materials and themselves. The program offers training and workshop time to community members who need to reinvent their employable skills, update their home affordably or create marketable products. Home resource constructed and equipped the shop with the help of two grants - one for nearly $79,760 from the city of missoula's community development block grant program, and one for $16,156 from the department of environmental quality. Construction was completed in september 2010, and three aspects of operations commenced at that time: production of value-added products, classes offered in partnership with the missoula county public schools' lifelong learning center, and a public access woodworking program in which community members gain access to the shop to complete personal projects. All class and membership fees are offered on a sliding fee scale. In the first four months of operations, the shop was able to:1. Transform more than 9,000 pounds of waste materials into valuable, local products.2. Hire three previously unemployed workers in the shop - including one individual who was homeless in january.3. Provide more than 200 hours of professionally-equipped shop time to 31 members who have been able to work their way out of economic trouble, gain marketable skills, or make much-needed improvements to their homes.4. Teach more than 230 students skills ranging from basic tool safety to finish carpentry, cabinet making and furniture building. 5. Offer shop benefits to 20 people who meet federal standards for economic assistance.
