flag St. Paul’s Newman Center bought a Fargo apartment building for faith-based housing, sparking tax debate but remaining legal under current rules.

flag The St. Paul’s Newman Center’s purchase of The View on University Apartments in Fargo has drawn criticism over alleged tax evasion via a TIF program, but city officials confirm the sale was legal and compliant with existing agreements. flag The building, now owned by a tax-exempt religious group, will become faith-based housing with conduct rules similar to those at universities. flag The center says it was not obligated to maintain secular housing and emphasizes transparency, tenant notification, and high demand—having turned away 90 students due to space limits. flag Critics’ claims of collusion are dismissed as baseless. flag The controversy reflects broader tensions over religious freedom and public policy, but the transaction remains lawful under constitutional protections.
