Housing/Shelter/Eviction Prevention
Eviction Prevention Update, January 2021
The Dakota County Eviction Prevention Program is currently unavailable but will be back soon. More details will be posted when it becomes available.
Although there has been a temporary hold on evictions, rent is still due and landlords may evict tenants with past due rent after state and federal restrictions on eviction filings are lifted.
In the meantime, help is available for qualified Dakota County renters who are unable to pay rent and utility costs through these agencies.
