A new housing development proposed on the east side of Great Falls is drawing mixed reactions from residents and local officials, with supporters calling it a step toward addressing the city’s housing shortage, and opponents warning it could worsen problems tied to affordability and infrastructure.

The proposed IX Blessings Mobile Home Park would bring more than 140 manufactured home lots to a 25-acre site near Seventh Avenue North and 42nd Street North, just south of Morningside Elementary School.
