PRIEST RIVER — The Kaniksu Land Trust has lifted two significant restrictions connected to its affordable housing partnership project, The Village at Riverview Ridge, on Tuesday.
The trust, alongside its two partners LEAP Housing and Bonner Community Housing Agency, removed the two of the largest limitations for applying the residence and housing size requirement. Previously, applicants needed to have an address in Bonner County and be a household of at least three to qualify for one of the three-bedroom, two-bathroom homes.
Katie Egland Cox, executive director of the Kaniksu Land Trust, said the changes were implemented to ensure Priest River residents who needed the housing got the first chance at them. As the project as gone on, Cox said they found the abundance restrictions left a small pool of applicants.
