COEUR D'ALENE, Idaho — HomeShare Kootenai County has made its first three matches between those seeking a place to live and those offering one, and expects to make more.
“We just need to get the word out and build up our application base,” said Executive Director Carrie Ward.
She said HomeShare can be a “significant housing resource for Kootenai County. It’s just a matter of promoting it and getting it out there.”
The Coeur d'Alene City Council unanimously approved a one-time request Tuesday to give the nonprofit $50,000 from American Rescue Plan Act funds the city received.
The money will go toward marketing efforts to expand the program and operational expenses.
City Administrator Troy Tymesen said HomeShare could be a tool to help address the area’s rising cost of housing and help people find an affordable place to live.
