BISMARCK, N.D. Feb. 24, 2026 – U.S. Department of Agriculture (USDA) Rural Development State Director Tom Campbell today announced home repair investments in North Dakota. These investments will benefit housing in 4 counties across the state.
“Housing is always a challenge in rural communities, but so is keeping the properties safe and habitable,” said Campbell. “These organizations have been partners with RD for years and are looking to continue the work they do through the Housing Preservation Grant Program.”
Background:
USDA Rural Development invested in North Central Planning Council and Rebuilding Together Fargo-Moorhead through the Housing Preservation Grant Program. This program provides grants to organizations for the repair or rehabilitation of housing owned or occupied by low and very-low-income rural citizens.
North Central Planning Council will use a $55,000 grant to update 10 one-bedroom units in Maddock. This will improve the living conditions for low and very low-income families with updates to the roof and gutters.
Rebuilding Together Fargo-Moorhead will use a $35,000 grant to update single-family homes in the rural parts of Cass, Traill and Richland counties. These repairs are available to low and very low-income families. Repairs can include, but are not limited to windows, doors, roofs, walk-in showers, grabs bars, ramps and address other safety concerns.
USDA Rural Development invests in rural America with programs to promote rural prosperity. These programs expand access to high-speed internet, electricity, and transportation infrastructure, and support economic growth, healthcare, education, housing, and other community essentials.
