Important News from RentHelpMN
Thank you for signing up to receive updates from Minnesota Housing. This includes an important announcement about RentHelpMN.
Application deadline has passed
The RentHelpMN rental assistance program is no longer accepting additional applications. Applications that were submitted on or before the January 28 deadline will be reviewed. Eligible requests will be processed subject to funding availability.
