Covid-19 Action Plan

Itasca County/Grand Rapid HRAs

In accordance with guidance from the Centers for Disease Control and Prevention (CDC) and the Minnesota Department of Health, the HRAs are adjusting their services and operations to protect staff and the individuals and families it serves from further spread of COVID-19. The HRA will continue to update its action plan. 
In an effort to slow the spread of COVID-19, effective March 19th the HRA offices are temporarily closed to all residents and visitors. All staff will be working remotely with scheduled access to the HRA offices. The HRA has suspended all internal and external meetings with very few exceptions. As much business as possible will be conducted by telephone and other electronic means. The HRA will continue to respond as needed to emergency situations. 
Closing our offices does not mean the HRA is closed. We remain committed to our mission and the individuals and families we serve. All residents will be notifed by memo and the office will have signs posted with contact information so residents can easily reach staff by telephone in lieu of a walk-in meeting. Housing Choice Voucher and other rental assistance program staff will conduct as much business as possible via U.S. Mail and electronic means. HRA staff are still available to provide the emergency services and essential duties that arise in managing HRA owned properties.
