Located in a small rural town with a population of approximately 1,845, Moorhead Manor Apartments, a 62-unit multifamily Section 8 property, has thrived over the years. Being one of two government-funded properties in town, Moorhead Manor has gained recognition and prestige because of its beautification and management skills, according to community leaders, city workers, guests and prospects. The company’s vision is to create a launching pad for its residents to move to the next level of their lives; therefore, Moorhead Manor strives to accomplish that vision. One of the unique qualities of Moorhead Manor is that it has an on-site social service coordinator three full days a week to offer supportive services to the residents. The services include programs targeting health and wellness, educational success and financial stability to build a stronger community. During the height of COVID-19, Moorhead Manor made sure its residents were taken care of by making them the priority when it came to their physical safety, ensuring their leases were secure by making packets for them to complete and place in the drop box, halting any evictions, informing them of rental assistance programs that were available to help with their rents and delinquent balances. Residents were informed of events that were giving away groceries and household items. Moorhead Manor staff also provided elderly and special needs residents with care packages that included items such as masks, sanitizers, wipes and other household items they would need to protect their health during the pandemic.
