Missing Middle Housing visual design contest

Shelter WF, with the financial support of a 2024 AARP Community Challenge grant, is having a visual housing design competition focused on Missing Middle Housing in Whitefish. This initiative addresses the pressing need for community-oriented, affordable and accessible housing options.                        

Participants can do one or both of the two design challenge options: individual plot design and neighborhood plot design. 

Individual Plot Design: Design housing that adheres to current zoning regulations for one of two common zoning districts in Whitefish, WR-2 or WB-2, with high potential to create more housing options close to downtown. Specific zoning information will be provided to those who choose this option.
