About The HRA
The HRA works to improve the lives of residents in northwest Minnesota through affordable housing and development programs that strengthen individuals and their communities.
Our service area includes the following counties in varied capacities: Hubbard, Kittson, Lake of the Woods, Marshall, Norman, Pennington, Polk, Red Lake, and Roseau.
Programs offered: The HRA also has been very active with pursuing and operating Minnesota Housing Finance Agency funds. The HRA uses MHFA funds to do numerous rental and homeowner grant programs. In addition, we have received funds for the Community Revitalization Fund program where private and public investors team with MHFA to assist with down payment to prospective homeowners.
The HRA continues to work with cities and counties to assist with their economic and community development needs.
