Independent Living Apartments
Fraser® Residential Services
Fraser operates four apartment buildings designed for adults with a primary diagnosis of developmental disability (with or without other disabilities) who can live independently with minimal support. Fraser is the only organization in the Twin Cities to offer this type of apartment rental program and has received national recognition for this unique model. The buildings are made possible through the U.S. Department of Housing and Urban Development (HUD).
Services Provided
Fraser staff manage the buildings and advocate for the tenants’ well being. With the goal of fostering independent living skills, on-site amenities include:
- Convenient locations on major bus lines allowing people to easily access work, shopping and other activities
- One bedroom apartments
- Laundry
- Elevators
- Outdoor recreational areas
- Maintenance services
Our Staff
- A resident manager lives on site to help with emergency situations, resolve tenant and residential issues, and organize social activities within the building. He/she also assists with light housekeeping duties to keep the building in proper working order.
- A service coordinator is available to act as a liaison between tenants and property management and to help tenants gain access to community services to maintain independent living and optimize quality of life.
- The property manager works with HUD and the Minnesota Finance Housing Association to ensure that all federal regulations are followed regarding tenant eligibility, rent levels, leasing practices, and overall functioning of the buildings.
Ages Served
Adults, 18 years or older. Each person must have a primary diagnosis of a developmental, cognitive or other disability and be capable of living independently with limited support.
Applying for Residency
Fraser is currently accepting applications for residency at Lyndale Court in Bloomington. Other buildings' wait lists are closed at this time. A person who is interested in living in a Fraser apartment building completes an application and is placed on the list in the order in which the application is received. When an apartment becomes available, the first person on the list is interviewed to determine eligibility. Prior to moving in, each person must read the building’s guidebook and sign a document stating that he or she has read and understands the rules specific to that building.
Location
The buildings are located in Apple Valley, Bloomington, Minnetonka, and Richfield.
Payment/Funding
