The former hotel is being converted into permanent supportive housing for people formerly experiencing homelessness with support from Blue Cross and Blue Shield.

For the last decade, the property has provided stable living arrangements and supportive services for 70 people who would otherwise be homeless.

Higher Ground now provides shelter to more than 450 people, and includes 232 semi-private bunks and 165 single room occupancy units of permanent housing for formerly homeless individuals.

Meet a family from Thief River Falls whose lives have been changed for the better thanks to GMHF's development and investment partners.

GMHF participated with technical assistance for the single-family development, downpayment funds, and a $288,000, 0% interest deferred loan to Parkway Townhomes.

GMHF has provided significant technical assistance and financial resources to the state's largest employer-assisted housing effort.
