Good morning, Post Falls.

A new nonprofit foundation called Young Family’s Foundation is debuting at its downtown Coeur d'Alene office to help local families overcome rising housing costs.

The organization partners with local banks—providing loan assistance, financial education and homeownership counseling to support community stability.

In Coeur d’Alene, several hundred to thousands attended Saturday’s 'No Kings' protest along U.S. 95—young people spoke out against what they see as rising authoritarianism and local issues while over one hundred counter-protestors gathered on the opposite side in military-style gear. The event was part of a national movement focused on concerns about policing and deregulation that many say hurt both the environment and working families.

A hillside property near Hayden Lake experienced erosion control failures during a rain-on-snow event that sent sediment runoff into the lake, raising concerns over water quality.

The upper parcel owner hired an engineering firm to stabilize the slopes—while the lower parcel owner is working on repairing damaged stormwater infrastructure.

Homebuyers in Kootenai County may soon qualify for mortgage help from a new funding program created by the Housing Solutions Partnership, Coeur d’Alene Regional Realtors and other local groups (the program would allow workers to add a silent second mortgage to cover the gap between loan amounts and home prices).

Volunteer spots remain open for Ironman 70.3 Coeur d'Alene on Sunday, June 22—roles include bike and run aid stations, body marking, crowd control, finish-line support, paddleboard and kayak assistance and wetsuit peeling.

Around 2,000 athletes will compete in a 1.2-mile swim starting and finishing at City Beach, a 56-mile bike ride at City Park and a 13.1-mile run through Sanders Beach and along the North Idaho Centennial Trail.
