Housing and Redevelopment Authority (HRA)

St. Louis County's Housing and Redevelopment Authority (HRA) was created in 1988 in accordance with Minnesota Statutes and has the same powers as a municipal HRA.  Its operation territory includes communities in St. Louis County that do not have a municipal HRA, and if invited by a community, St. Louis County HRA may also operate in communities that do have a municipal HRA.

HRA activities are coordinated under the Community Development Division.  Unlike municipal HRA's, St. Louis County HRA does not own or operate public housing or administer tenant-based rental assistance programs.

St. Louis County HRA's mission is to provide strategic development resources that augment housing, community development, and economic development activities.  The HRA's goal is to expand and diversify the county's economic base and to improve its housing stock.

The St. Louis County Board of Commissioners serves as the governing board of the HRA and the county administrator serves as its executive director.

HRA offices are located at 117 Northland Center, 307 South 1st Street, Virginia, MN.  For additional information please call 218-749-9741.
