Emergency Rental Assistance Available

Emergency Rental Assistance
At their meeting yesterday, the Hennepin County Board of Commissioners approved $15 million for emergency rental assistance for low-income residents throughout Hennepin County.
Low-income households and households of color have been disproportionately impacted by the economic consequences of COVID-19. Many low-income renter households are working in the industries that have lost the most jobs due to COVID-19. To address these disparities, funds will be targeted to renters with incomes below 50 percent of the area median income.
This funding is expected to help 9,000 low-income Hennepin County residents maintain stable housing during the COVID-19 pandemic.
