Uniform Application
The Uniform Application is one application that can be used for many of the Montana Department of Commerce’s housing-related loan, grant and tax credit programs.
The Uniform Application, sometimes called the UNIAPP, and the forms provided below were developed by a working group including representatives from all participating programs to reduce time, effort and expense incurred when applying to multiple agencies for financial assistance.
Each program has a unique mission and individual program requirements along with different ranking priorities for funds. It is important for the applicant to contact each program to obtain the program-specific application guidelines and any program supplemental information or materials required.
