Glacier National Park administration has faced challenges providing housing to their workforce for over two decades, mainly due to funding issues. The purpose of this project was to provide Park administration with strategies to help improve their employee housing. These strategies emerged from interviews with over 50 National Park Service administrators, Glacier National Park contacts, and local housing entities. The most applicable strategies include exploring use of Conservancy funding, creating joint housing with other government agencies, expanding the School-to-Park program, and leasing housing in the external communities. Implementation of these strategies, and others mentioned in our recommendations, will increase and improve employee housing in Glacier National Park.
