Fifty-six-year-old Chuck Stewart is a career U.S. Air Force man who suffers from pulmonary fibrosis. He decided to move from his two-story Minot home more than two years ago after the stairs and tight corners made it hard for him to get around.
Construction of the family’s new home in Underwood faced several roadblocks, including one contractor who suddenly died and a second contractor who disappeared with thousands of dollars of the Stewarts’ money.
More than 40 contractors and suppliers chipped in to complete the home, helped by financial donations from around the state.

Councilman Ken Hall of the Three Affiliated Tribes says there has been a housing shortage in New Town for a long time and the community has doubled in population since the oil boom started.
Rental rates have not been established, but Hall says the plan is to keep prices affordable for tribal members.
