how we help through Partnerships
HRDC is committed to leveraging partnerships to build a better community. By collaborating with organizations that bring unique strengths to the table, we can amplify our collective impact and better address the diverse needs of Southwest Montana. Our current partnership with the Gallatin Behavioral Health Coalition (GBHC) and Yellowstone Boys and Girls Ranch (YBGR) exemplifies this approach.

LIGHTHOUSE RANCH
Lighthouse Ranch is a 501 (c) (3) nonprofit collaboratively led by HRDC, Yellowstone Boys and Girls Ranch, the Gallatin Behavioral Health Coalition, and a group of community volunteers. The campus will offer a range of care tailored to youth in crisis, from in-home visits to outpatient therapy programs to short-term residential care. By 2028, we plan to offer longer-term residential services. Rooted in compassion, confidentiality, and evidence-based care, Lighthouse Ranch is designed to help young people heal and build brighter futures – close to home.

HRDC's Involvement
HRDC is proud to support this critical project through temporary land acquisition, addressing one of the top community needs identified in our most recent assessment: behavioral health. Our expertise in land acquisition is a vital asset to the GBHC, enabling this project to move forward effectively.
This project aligns perfectly with our mission as a community action agency to respond to our community’s greatest needs. By entering this crucial partnership with YBGR and the GBHC, we are taking a significant step towards addressing the critical behavioral health needs of our youth, ensuring they have the resources and support necessary to build brighter futures.
