Is there housing available?
We Do Not Have Intern Housing. Each Intern Is Asked To Do The Research In The Flathead Valley To Find And Arrange Their Own Housing. Resources Like Craigslist, Airbnb, And VRBO Are Great For Searching The Area. The Flathead Valley Is A Tourist Destination So We Recommend Looking Into Vacation Rentals As An Option. Areas To Consider: Kalispell, Whitefish, Bigfork, Evergreen, Somers, And Lakeside.
Occasionally, Members Of Fresh Life Church Will Have Housing Options (With And Without Rent). Those Housing Opportunities Are On A Case By Case Basis To Help Ensure The Right Fit For Both Parties. If You Are Accepted Into The Program, Please Let The Intern Team Know Right Away If You Need Housing And We Will Help As Much As We Can, But It Is Ultimately Up To Each Intern To Find Their Own Housing.
