Reported policy summary	Empire Apartments: 54 4th Ave N, St. Cloud MN 56303. HRA public-housing one-bedroom apartments. HRA rental directory labels its WAITLIST CLOSED; an application link on the detail page does not reopen it. The detail page describes 88 one-bedroom apartments of about 437 square feet, with kitchen, bathroom/shower, shared laundry, community room, security, elevators, parking and accessible features. Public housing rent is described as 30% of income; verify calculation with HRA. Applicants undergo income, criminal-background, credit, past-housing and citizenship review. Small pets allowed. Source discrepancy: The public-housing overview says 89 Empire units; the building detail says 88. Treat both as source claims, not a reconciled current total. St. Cloud HRA subsidized overview https://stcloudhra.com/subsidized-housing/, HRA rental directory https://stcloudhra.com/rental-properties/ and linked property detail pages; reviewed September 29, 2026. The overview lists household income limits of $37,500 / $42,850 / $48,200 / $53,550 / $57,850 / $62,150 / $66,450 / $70,700 for one through eight persons, without a dated effective period; confirm the current limits and applicable program before applying. It says subsidized Germain, Grace and Northway B rent is income-based with residents paying utilities, unlike its public-housing portfolio. HRA-owned properties are smoke-free. Background checks are mentioned but no property-specific acceptance of a particular conviction is promised; request written criteria. A waitlist labelled “open” does not mean a unit is available. The resident portal https://stcloudhra.com/online-resident-portal/ is for resident account access, not a vacancy board or proof of an open application. Its Westwood links use guest-login paths even though they appear on the resident page; do not infer waitlist status from URL names. The generic applicant link https://stcloudhra.com/vp-applicant/ leads toward an HRA page that did not provide a working public application at review; use each property's official instructions and call St. Cloud HRA at 320-252-0880 to confirm intake. The office at 1225 W St. Germain Street is not Germain Towers at 905 W St. Germain Street. Individual source https://stcloudhra.com/empire-apartments/.
