Local housing information for Fargo

Local housing resources

FARGO HOUSING 19-OPTION DIRECTORY — Fargo Housing & Redevelopment Authority's https://fargohousing.org/housing-options/, 19 directory cards reviewed September 29, 2026: 17 housing sites/site groups plus two location-independent voucher programs. Each of the 17 linked site cards below includes the official unit mix, manager, amenities, intake status and source URL. These are directory leads, not verified felony-friendly properties or current vacancies. The current https://fargohousing.org/waitlists/ lists the following OPEN bedroom waitlists: Lashkowitz Riverfront 2 and 3 BR; New Horizons 2 BR; Elliott Place 2 BR; public housing 4 BR (Madison & McCormick); Lantern Light 3 and 4 BR; North Sky 2 BR. Other listed FHRA lists are closed; Cooper House and Lantern Light 1 BR use coordinated-entry referrals rather than FHRA's ordinary list. Status can change; check https://fargohousing.org/waitlists/ and https://fargohousing.org/apply-now/ before applying. The https://fargohousing.org/apply-now/ links to FHRA's Rent Café portal; it requires an email address and accepts applications only for open lists. At least one applicant must be 18+, with income, citizenship/eligible immigration and identification requirements. FHRA: 701-293-6262, info@fargohousing.org; 325 Broadway N is its OFFICE, not a shared residential address. Housing Choice Vouchers: https://fargohousing.org/housing-options/ and https://fargohousing.org/housing/housing-choice-vouchers/ — HCV waitlist closed at review; renters select an eligible private-market unit, so this is not one apartment location. Mainstream Vouchers: https://fargohousing.org/housing/mainstream/ — waitlist closed; serves households with a disabled member aged 18–61, with published priority groups. These voucher programs are resources, not map pins. The multi-neighborhood public housing groups, Church Townhomes and three-building North Sky have no single confirmed residential entrance and remain unpinned. North Sky's official page labels it 'North Fargo' but lists three 28th Ave S addresses. Cooper House's official street address omits N/S. Do not infer a single precise location from those descriptions.
