Story of Impact from Minnesota’s Housing Scorecard, Feb, 2020:
Housing Goal Five – Link Homes and Services
Concerned that homelessness was on the rise, leaders from the City of Bemidji and Beltrami County conducted a needs assessment that confirmed their fears. With data in hand, local officials committed to starting with a foundation of housing and embraced the development of Park Place for individuals with substance disorders, as well as Conifer Estates and Conifer Villas, both permanent supportive housing. In 2019 East Conifer Apartments was given the green light for development, to be created in partnership with the Red Lake Reservation Housing Authority.
