HRA Information
The Housing and Redevelopment Authority of Duluth runs all public housing in the city. They hold public meetings on the last Thursday of every month at 3:30 pm. Because of that time, may people cannot attend the meetings. We are providing notes and recordings to increase public accessibility to the meetings. You can request a recording of any public HRA meeting by completing the form below and emailing it to informationrequest@duluthhousing.com.
*Note: the PDF does not allow you to add your signature where it is required. We have been able to get recordings without adding a signature. Hopefully the HRA will resolve this technical issue.
