COVID-19 Housing Assistance Program

COVID-19 Housing Assistance Program

August 25, 2020 By CMM

Community Mediation Minnesota will be processing applications for housing assistance and connecting those applicants to the mediation centers who will help landlords and tenants co-create agreements around these funds.
Applicants who select Community Mediation Minnesota on their applications will receive assistance from mediators. Overall our goal is to help 136 households remain housed and to further integrate the financial assistance and mediation processes to create more durable agreements and improved communication between landlord and tenants.

What is the COVID-19 Housing Assistance Program?

The COVID-19 Housing Assistance Program provides housing assistance payments to help prevent eviction, prevent homelessness, and maintain housing stability for eligible renters and homeowners. Local administrators will review applications from individuals and families requesting assistance, verify eligibility, and process payments for eligible expenses on behalf of households.

Community Mediation Minnesota is one of the COVID-19 Housing Assistance Program local administrators around the state that is working with individuals located in [Your Coverage Area].

For complete details on who is eligible to apply and what costs are covered by the program, visit www.211unitedway.org. Interested applicants may also call 211 (Toll Free: 1.800.543.7709; Local: 651.291.0211) or text “MNRENT” to 898-211 to learn more. The 211 helpline has dedicated multilingual staff available to answer questions about the COVID-19 Housing Assistance Program, 8:00 a.m. – 8:00 p.m. Monday through Friday.
