The Red Lake Homeless Shelter has 2 different rental programs that cover up to 70% of a client's rent. 14 rental subsidies are funded through the Minnesota Housing and Finance Agency (MHFA) and these subsidies can last up to five years. There are also 5 with the Transitional Housing Program (THP) and these subsidies can last up to two years.
Additionally, the Red Lake Homeless Shelter also operates a HUD Section 811-funded program called the Red Lake Supportive Housing 1rental program. This housing includes 14 units built in 7 duplexes, some of which are located in each of the four communities on the Red Lake Indian Reservation. All units will be restricted to disabled households. A disabled household means a household composed of one or more persons, at least one of whom is an adult (18 years or older) who has a significant disability. For purposes of this housing, eligible disabilities include those that are physical, mental health, or developmental in nature.
Since this property was built or renovated using funding from HUD's current Section 811 Supportive Housing for Persons with Disabilities program or legacy Section 202 program, residency is usually restricted to households earning 50% of the Area Median Income (AMI) or less with at least one adult member with a disability. Tenants pay rent based on household income. This rent is usually the highest of the following three amounts: either 30% adjusted monthly income, or 10% unadjusted monthly income, or, if receiving welfare assistance, the housing costs portion of this assistance.
