Housing Options For Great Falls

I'm not sure that there's a correct answer to this question, and likely a variety of housing options would be the most ideal for our community.

Whether it be single-family, multifamily, or even tiny homes, all would be potential options for our community.

There has been a ton of talk around multifamily and even tiny homes, but personally, I think that single-family homes are the main thing missing from our community, and this should be the focus of leaders in Electric City.

With upgrades planned at Malmstrom Air Force Base and numerous families moving to town for medical jobs, a single-family home will remain a hot commodity over the next few years.

We've already seen staggering prices with single-family homes, and in theory, adding to the inventory in this category should help to level out the prices a bit.

But what do you think would be the best solution for housing here in Great Falls?
