AFFORDABLE HOUSING: Don’t forget Habitat for Humanity
Thank you for your article about Century 21 Beutler and Associates’ support for Panhandle Affordable Housing Alliance (PAHA). Their efforts are commendable. Multiple approaches and our whole community’s support are needed to solve the affordable housing crisis our community faces.
I’d like to remind your readers about another local nonprofit which offers low-income families the opportunity to become homeowners. Most families would probably rather own their home than rent. I believe Habitat for Humanity of North Idaho’s model of homeownership is a better long-term solution for affordable housing. This nonprofit has already built and sold homes to more than 50 Kootenai County families. It has five more homes under construction right now, and plans to sell them to low-income families in 2024. It doesn’t limit its housing opportunities to those in the workforce. Habitat for Humanity builds and sells homes to retired, working and young adults. It also provides these families and individuals with training to manage their personal finances and live within their budgets.
