MINNEAPOLIS (AP) – Minnesota officials are urging residents who have fallen behind on their rent, mortgage or utility payments amid the coronavirus pandemic to apply for state aid before a looming Monday night deadline.
The COVID-19 Housing Assistance Program has already taken more than 28,000 applications for more than $67 million in aid. There was about $30 million left as of Nov. 30, though that was before December rent started coming due.
Minnesota residents seeking aid should call 211 or apply online at 211unitedway.org by 11:59 p.m. Monday. It’s part of the state’s broader effort to provide housing stability during the pandemic.
