County Leaders Approve Land Transfers for Affordable Housing

Plan calls for ARCH Community Housing Trust to Build Homes in Southern County

Blaine County commissioners have approved three resolutions to potentially provide affordable-housing units in conjunction with the Blaine County Housing Authority and ARCH Community Housing Trust.

ARCH’s plans call for building a total of six three-bedroom, two-and-a-half bath homes with two-car garages. ARCH already owns three parcels of land—one that was purchased using private donations and two in Bellevue that were donated by the city—and will add the three parcels being conveyed by the county.

The federal funds will be matched by an anonymous donor at 50% and ARCH plans to secure the balance of the funding needed through donations. The homes would be rented to qualifying households at no more than 30% of adjusted gross income.
