Accessible Space Inc. of St. Paul received $50,000 to maintain accessible, affordable housing at Northern Lights Apartments for very low-income adults with physical disabilities.
Lakes Area Restorative Justice Project of Brainerd received $30,000 for general operations of the restorative justice program for juvenile offenders, their families, and the community in Crow Wing County.

"Being responsive to community needs has been a hallmark of OBT, and this round of investments exemplifies that commitment," said Charlotte Johnson, co-CEO and trustee, Otto Bremer Trust, in a news release. "Whether providing children's dental care, job skills training, hunger relief, or supporting tribal populations, we are energized by the programs and organizations impacting the lives of people across the region."
