USDA Rural Development’s Rural Housing Service in Montana has
named Libby resident Deborah Frey as the Multi-Family Housing
Site Manager of the Year for Elderly Housing in 2011.

Frey manages Treasure Manor Apartments, a senior living
complex.

Recognized at a ceremony earlier this year, Frey received a
commemorative plaque thanking her for her commitment and
dedication in the care of her tenants. Frey also represented
Montana’s entry into a national U.S. Department of Agriculture
competition.

Among the improvements, Frey oversaw the replacement of four
roofs, the installation of 77 energy efficient windows, new
siding and trim, electrical upgrades to all 32 rooms and the
installation of two privacy fences.

Asked about the dollar amount she secured and Frey declined.

“I’m happy for the improvements. To quote the amount seems like
bragging,” Frey said. “We got a lot done. Even the windows were
rotted.”

USDA Rural Development is the prime financer of Treasure Manor,
which provides stabilized rent for limited-income senior
citizens of Lincoln County.

The project was in declining shape in 2006 when owners brought
Frey in to manage the property and spearhead a marked
turnaround in the overall quality of life.

“Deborah is a prime example of how our properties should be
run. She is professional, well-organized, and detailed while
providing a level of caring and understanding for her tenants
that is unequaled in our USDA properties in Montana. We are
proud to give her this recognition,” said Matthew Jones,
Montana State Director.

Montana has 143 properties across the state funded by USDA
Rural Development’s Multi-Family Housing program.
