Shelter WF, a community nonprofit concerned with affordable housing in Whitefish, was awarded an AARP Community Challenge Grant in April and organized a housing design competition that focused on ways to build missing middle housing.
“You have your single-family home and then you have your huge apartment complexes and those are on opposite ends of the spectrum,” Shelter WF Coordinator Kendall Schneider said. “Anything in between is going to be your middle housing. That's going to include duplexes, four-plexes, cottage clusters, townhomes, ADUs.”
Shelter WF was one of 343 organizations chosen from 3,300 organizations that applied for the grant.
