NeighborWorks Great Falls and Family Promise in Great Falls recently teamed up to offer a home for rent.
NeighborWorks bought and renovated the home and Family Promise found a family to live there.
The goal is for the house to ultimately be a stepping stone to homeownership for families.
"Maybe they'll stay there a year, maybe they'll stay there five. At the point that they move on to their next home, we'll work once again with Family Promise to see if there's another family that needs this affordable home,” said NeighborWorks Great Falls director Sherrie Arey.
"It's invaluable. That's really what we want to work toward, to build more of those kinds of relationships,” said Family Promise director Greg Grosenick.
Arey added that more rental properties are possible in the future if the right opportunity becomes available.
