HACC FIVE DISTINCT PROPERTIES DIRECTORY — https://casscountyhousing.org/properties/, reviewed September 29, 2026: four distinct Cass County property cards, all in West Fargo. This directory also contains a fifth McIntosh County card in Ashley; it is not a West Fargo residence. The two senior cards are repeated under a secondary page section, not two more properties. Highrise West Fargo: https://casscountyhousing.org/portfolio/highrise-west-fargo/ — 59 one-bedroom public-housing units at 230 8th Ave W. Monterrey + Brighton Place: https://casscountyhousing.org/portfolio/monterrey-brighton-place/ — combined 85-unit 62+ community. Beyond Shelter separately places Brighton at 205 8th Ave W: https://www.beyondshelterinc.com/brighton-place. Serenity: https://casscountyhousing.org/portfolio/serenity-apartments/ — 18 one-bedroom 55+ homes; its own page conflicts on 212 7th versus 212 8th Ave W. Sierra Townhomes: https://casscountyhousing.org/portfolio/sierra-townhomes/ — 16 homes, half 62+ and half for people experiencing homelessness, along the 210–250 9 1/2 Ave W range. Do not infer a single entrance for the combined community or multi-address townhomes. The https://casscountyhousing.org/housing-programs/senior-housing/ describes tax-credit senior housing with a 50%-of-area-median-income limit, but the property pages distinguish Serenity 55+ and Monterrey/Brighton 62+. https://casscountyhousing.org/housing-programs/public-housing/ mentions unspecified public-housing units in Casselton and Kindred without address-level site cards; they are NOT mapped as apartments. The authority's https://casscountyhousing.org/cass-county-waiting-list-now-closed/ dated May 7, 2025 says the Cass County Section 8 voucher list closed. That does not automatically close every property list. At September 29, 2026, the rendered https://www.pha-web.com/portals/onlineApplication/1656 displayed Section 8 as closed and no other named property lists, although the site continues to show Apply links.
