The Wadena Housing & Redevelopment Authority (WHRA) was established in 1965 to provide housing services to the public throughout Wadena County. Throughout the history of the agency, the WHRA has administered local, state, and federal programs under State and Federal guidelines and regulations. The WHRA is designated a high performer under the US Department of Housing and Urban Development in the operations of Public Housing.

Whether you are new to the area or a resident of Wadena, there are resources available to you through the WHRA to assist you in your housing needs. We are so much more than just rental units!  We provide resources and information for the greater Wadena area on affordable and market-rate housing options, including Subsidized Housing at Humphrey Manor, Rental Assistance under the Section 8 Voucher Program, Market Rate Housing at Commercial Apartments for those 55 years of age or older, Housing units for 18 years of age and older at Fair Oaks Apartments and Low Interest Fix-Up Loans.

In order to fulfill its mission, the Wadena Housing & Redevelopment Authority resource team, made up of individuals with their own specialty, work together to help fulfill Wadena housing needs.
