Beyond Shelter, Inc. Awarded Funding for Senior Housing Developments in Fargo and Jamestown
January 2026
Beyond Shelter, Inc. (BSI) is proud to announce that two of our senior housing developments have been selected for funding as part of the North Dakota Housing Finance Agency’s (NDHFA) recent statewide commitments to expand affordable housing. NDHFA’s announcement includes support for six projects in total, representing more than 600 new affordable housing units across North Dakota.
These investments strengthen housing access for older adults, families, and workforce residents—and BSI is honored to play a key role in meeting this important statewide need.
Expanding Senior Housing Across Two North Dakota Communities
BSI received funding commitments for two 39‑unit senior housing developments, one in Fargo and one in Jamestown. These projects are designed to provide safe, accessible, and affordable homes for older adults on fixed incomes—allowing seniors to age with dignity in communities they know and love.
Harvest Acres – Fargo, ND
The Harvest Acres development in Fargo will bring 39 new senior housing units to the community.
NDHFA awarded BSI:
- $1.1 million in Low-Income Housing Tax Credits, generating an estimated $9.2 million in equity
- $3.1 million from the National Housing Trust Fund
- $711,372 from the HOME program
- $1 million from the Housing Incentive Fund (HIF)
Total development cost: $15.6 million
This project supports Fargo’s long‑term housing stability goals while expanding housing options for seniors who need affordable and supportive homes.
Buffalo Manor Apartments – Jamestown, ND
In Jamestown, BSI has been awarded funding for Buffalo Manor Apartments, another 39‑unit senior housing development that will help meet increasing demand for senior housing in Stutsman County.
NDHFA awarded BSI:
- $1.4 million in Low-Income Housing Tax Credits, generating an estimated $11 million in equity
- $1.6 million from the HOME program
- $1 million from the Housing Incentive Fund (HIF)
Total development cost: $16 million
Buffalo Manor Apartments will offer high‑quality, affordable homes designed to support aging in place and community stability.
A Strong Partnership for Housing Stability
NDHFA’s funding programs—including LIHTC, HOME, the National Housing Trust Fund, and HIF—play a vital role in making affordable housing possible in communities across North Dakota. The agency received 23 applications for this funding round, with requests exceeding available resources by $29 million, highlighting the strong demand for housing development statewide.
We are grateful for NDHFA’s continued leadership and for their commitment to ensuring that North Dakota residents—especially seniors and low‑income households—have access to safe and affordable homes.
BSI’s Ongoing Commitment
At Beyond Shelter, Inc., our mission is to strengthen communities by providing safe, affordable, and supportive housing solutions. The Harvest Acres and Buffalo Manor Apartments developments represent meaningful progress toward that mission, expanding senior housing opportunities in both Fargo and Jamestown.
We look forward to moving these projects forward and continuing to partner with state and local organizations to address housing needs across North Dakota.
