HUD Releases Fair Housing Funding to Restore Services in North Dakota
What happened
The High Plains Fair Housing Center received delayed funding from the U.S. Department of Housing and Urban Development on October 17, 2026. This funding was for the third year of an existing grant under the Fair Housing Initiatives Program. The release of funds allows the center to bring back furloughed staff and restore critical fair housing services across North Dakota.

Why it matters
The delay in funding had previously forced the center to furlough staff, significantly reducing its capacity to assist people facing housing discrimination. The restored funding stabilizes the center's operations and allows it to resume providing nearly 1,000 housing-related calls annually.
