The Pine River Housing and Redevelopment Authority of Pine River, Minnesota was formed by the city of Pine River in 1968 to pursue the goal of adding housing in our community for low income and elderly residents.
As a result of nearly five years of effort on the part of a five-member board of directors (one of whom is still serving), ten ranch style family homes and a 30 unit apartment building, Norway Brook Apartments, were built in late 1973. Five years later, another 30 unit senior apartment buidling, Heartland Apartments, was built in late 1978.
The HRA manages these 70 units and also works to facilitate further housing development in the community by partnering with independent developers to build more rental housing for lower income level tenants. To date, a 12 unit townhouse project, Pine River Square (1997), Built and managed by CEPCO, of Hopkins, MN has been accomplished through using the Tax Credit Financing Program through Minnesota Housing Finance Agency. The HRA partnered again with CEPCO, to build another 12 units of townhouses, Kinler Square Townhouses, to be opperated as affordabe housing rentals.

SAVE was one of the nation’s first organizations dedicated to the prevention of suicide. Our work is based on the foundation and belief that suicide is preventable and everyone has a role to play in preventing suicide. Through raising public awareness, educating communities, and equipping every person with the right tools, we know we can SAVE lives.
For over 30 years, SAVE has been the leading national organization working to prevent suicide through public awareness, education and as a resource for suicide survivors. SAVE developed the best practices for Media Reporting on Suicide, several award winning media campaigns, the only certification program for safe messaging and the National Media Award. SAVE developed an evidence based school-based program (LEADS); conducts training for professionals and communities globally, and thousands of SAVE’s best practice resources are distributed annually. SAVE’s Peer Connections is the only peer support program dedicated to suicide prevention and our work place prevention programs and partnership with Willis Towers Watson in the construction industry are the gold standard for companies.
SAVE was recognized as a Champion of Change by The White House, has received numerous awards and is one of fewer than 2,000 charities to have received the America’s Best Charities seal.
