State & City Resources
Bismarck, North Dakota: Disability Resources
On This Page
Bismarck residents can contact Burleigh County’s human service zone, the county housing authority, and Bis-Man Transit for different services. Transit coverage extends beyond Bismarck in specified areas, while housing and benefit contacts have their own jurisdiction and application rules.
Burleigh County Benefit Assistance
Burleigh County Human Service Zone serves Burleigh County and directs economic-assistance applications and changes to the state portal or Customer Support Center. Its listing provides the local county contact for additional help. Have the benefit name and any existing case information ready so your request can be directed appropriately.
Burleigh County Housing Authority
North Dakota Care Choice: Burleigh County Housing Authority identifies the authority’s public housing and Housing Choice Voucher programs for qualifying low-income households across Burleigh County. The state listing describes permanent housing, not transitional placement. Contact the authority about current applications, waiting lists, and accessibility needs; the resource listing does not establish an available unit.
Bis-Man Paratransit
Bis-Man Transit Eligibility Guide offers door-to-door service to qualifying older riders and people with certified disabilities. Its application has different supporting-document requirements for age-based and disability-based eligibility. Coverage includes Bismarck, Mandan, and Lincoln under the stated boundary rules. Confirm both addresses and request help completing the application if needed.
Before You Contact a Program
- Use Burleigh County contacts for a Bismarck benefits request.
- Ask which housing program is accepting applications.
- For transit, check the eligibility category and geographic coverage.
Federal Benefits and Next Steps
