Our Mission
The mission of the Leech Lake Band of Ojibwe Housing Authority is to develop affordable homes and housing opportunities for all Native American families on the Leech Lake Reservation, to provide efficient/sensitive services that lead to self-sufficient tenant/home owners and healthy safe communities.
History
The Leech Lake Housing Authority was formed by the Leech Lake Reservation Business Committee on September 1, 1963 (Ordinance 63-01) and has been in existence for over 50 years. The formation of a Housing Authority and an independent Board of Commissioners, consisting of six Band Members is a requirement to enter into funding contracts through the U.S. Department of Urban Development.
Our first development projects were built in 1964-1966, which consisted of 105 rental and Mutual Help home ownership units. Since the first years of development to the present the Housing Authority has built and/or purchased nearly 600 homes within the reservation boundaries.
Equal opportunity housing, open to the public.

All About Water Well Wish
Welcome to Water Well Wish, where we believe that clean water is a fundamental right. Join our mission to provide life’s most basic need – clean, safe drinking water – to families and communities in need. Lack of access to healthy drinking water can reduce life expectancy by up to 20 years. Together, we can make a significant impact and bring hope and health to those without access to this essential resource.
Your donations will directly fund the construction of water wells in underserved areas within the United States. You’ll receive regular updates on the wells you helped build and the lives you’ve transformed.
Our mission will not end until every American has access to clean, safe water. Each water well represents a life-changing gift for the people and families it serves. Since the inception of the program in August of 2023, we’ve already completed wells for 21 families, and 8 more are on the way, and every day we receive more and more applications, creating a current backlog of multiple families in desperate need and waiting.
Our Work
Talent is equally distributed across the U.S and opportunity is not. We’re on a mission to change that.
Communities Unlimited connects rural Americans to solutions that sustain healthy businesses, healthy communities, and healthy lives. We believe that access to opportunities should not depend on where you live, how much you have in the bank, or what you look like.
We take a holistic approach to economic development combining human connection with technology and expertise to foster self-reliance and economic impact for people and communities through 5 main program areas:
Entrepreneurship
Working one on one with small business owners to build wealth and grow their business
Community Infrastructure
Managerial, technical, and financial assistance for water/wastewater systems
Housing
Tackling the chronic shortage of homes across out 7-state service area
Lending
Innovative lending solutions for water/wastewater and small businesses

Intake Procedures
Clients or referents call the central intake number (218-751-0722). General questions are answered regarding eligibility, homelessness, and anticipated openings. Referents that are not able to be accommodated immediately are placed on an optional waiting list while every attempt is made to assist the referent in identifying an alternative shelter plan.
Upon vacancy of a family unit the waiting list is reviewed and families with the highest level of need are invited to participate in the application process. This process includes the opportunity to:
1. View the facility
2. Review the terms of the agreement to participate in a housing search and case management
3. Review the resident rules
4. Sign releases of information to verify homelessness
5. Sign releases of information to verify income
Homelessness is determined by utilizing a checklist for eligibility and receiving the verification by a third party in writing, on the Minnesota Housing ”Housing Status Verification/Referral Form” whenever possible. In cases where no written independent verification is possible from a shelter, a case manager or other 3rd party, clients must complete and sign the Minnesota Housing “Housing Status Self-Certification Form” .
Once homelessness is verified, in writing, on the forms provided by Village of Hope, and exclusionary criteria are determined not applicable, applicants are forwarded to the Executive Director for review.
If an applicant is approved, they are accepted and will be allowed to move into Village of Hope. Once a room is available, the homeless advocates will coordinate a move-in date and time with the applicant.

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.
