BISMARCK, N.D. – The North Dakota Housing Finance Agency plans to distribute more than $200,000 through a program it runs. It’s called the Helping Housing Across North Dakota (Helping HAND) program. “Helping HAND grants support rehab programs that provide North Dakotans of limited means with assistance in maintaining their home, ensuring it’s safe,” said NDHFA Executive Director Brandon Dettlaff. Among the distributions are more than $60,000 to the Southeastern North Dakota Community Action Agency in Fargo and more than $29,000 to Red River Valley Community Action in Grand Forks. NDHFA’s Helping HAND program began in 1993 and is funded with agency earnings.
