About NORTHERN LIGHTS APARTMENTS
NORTHERN LIGHTS APARTMENTS is a HUD-assisted rental property in Brainerd, Minnesota. According to HUD's Multifamily Properties (Assisted) dataset, the building has 25 total units, of which 25 receive federal rental assistance under Section 202 / 811 Supportive Housing and PRAC (Project Rental Assistance Contract). That means the resident's share of rent is generally limited to roughly 30% of adjusted household income, with HUD covering the remainder of the contract rent paid to the owner.
A significant share of residents — about 89% — are people with disabilities, suggesting this property is structured around accessibility and supportive services.
