Beltrami County Non-Profits in Minnesota

The Housing Trust Fund (HTF) Pre-Application for Construction and Development, jointly administered by the United Way of Bemidji Area and Beltrami County, was designed to solicit early-stage proposals from developers aiming to build or expand housing in Beltrami County, Minnesota. This opportunity focused on supporting initiatives that increase housing availability, affordability, and accessibility for individuals and families in the community. This pre-application process was a required initial step in applying for funding through the HTF but did not guarantee funding or full proposal acceptance. Rather, submitted pre-applications were reviewed to determine whether the applicant would be invited to submit a full proposal for funding consideration. The call for submissions closed on January 31 at 5:00 PM. The initiative specifically targeted qualified entities, such as housing developers and related organizations, who are equipped to implement residential development or expansion projects that align with local housing needs. While detailed funding amounts, eligibility requirements, or award dates were not included in the pre-application notice, the emphasis was on addressing the shortage of accessible and affordable housing within Beltrami County. Entities that submitted a pre-application were to be notified of their status—either invited to proceed with a full application or declined—following review. Further phases and funding awards were dependent on successful progression beyond the pre-application phase.
