What District 4 HRDC does

District 4 Human Resources Development Council (District 4 HRDC) is a 501(c)(3) nonprofit Community Action Program agency founded in 1965 and headquartered in Havre, Montana. It delivers anti-poverty and social services to low-income residents of Hill, Blaine, and Liberty Counties and to members of the Ft. Belknap and Rocky Boy Indian Reservations. Core programs include Head Start and Early Head Start early childhood education (approximately 134 slots), LIHEAP energy assistance, weatherization, a food bank, affordable rental housing (Antelope Court, Oakwood Village, Hillview Apartments), victim services, employment training, and a community garden.

The organization does not build proprietary technology; its service delivery model relies on in-person case management, community-based program operations, and physical infrastructure including housing properties and Head Start centers. It does not sell products or charge customers for services in a commercial sense. Its revenue model is grant-based: federal pass-through funding (notably Head Start Grant 08CH012942 and LIHEAP), state-administered Community Services Block Grant allocations, and supplemental partnerships with entities such as NeighborWorks Montana and Energy Share of Montana. The ultimate service recipients are low-income households and tribal community members; the institutional counterparties are federal and state funders.

District 4 HRDC holds the designated CAP status for its region, which functions as a regulatory franchise for anti-poverty service delivery. It maintains board governance typical of community action agencies and publishes annual reports and community needs assessments as required for continued funding eligibility. Headcount is reported in the 11-50 range, consistent with a small multi-program rural service provider.
