Emergency Rental Assistance
Supporting Minneapolis and Hennepin County families facing housing instability, eviction, and financial hardship.
Minneapolis Emergency Rental Assistance
Minneapolis residents who are at risk of eviction may qualify for emergency rental assistance through the City of Minneapolis Emergency Rental Assistance Program.
This program was launched to help stabilize households facing financial hardship and prevent homelessness, particularly families impacted by recent economic disruptions and Operation Metro Surge.
Isuroon is supporting community outreach, pre-screening, housing navigation, and tenant support for eligible Minneapolis residents.
Assistance may help cover past-due rent and utilities for households facing eviction.
