Get help buying food while schools are closed

Minnesota is now offering funds for families of children ages 5 to 18 who qualify for free or reduced-price school meals. The new program, called Pandemic EBT (P-EBT), will provide up to $325 per child that families can use to purchase nutritious food for their household.

Emergency rental assistance due to COVID-19

Hennepin County residents who have been financially harmed by COVID-19 may qualify for emergency assistance to help with rent and other housing costs.

Even though there is a temporary hold on evictions as part of Governor Walz's executive order, rent is still due and landlords may be able to evict tenants with past due rent once restrictions are lifted. Rental assistance can be used to pay this month's rent and utilities, as well as past due rent and utilities from previous months.

Renters are strongly encouraged to apply as soon as possible to ensure rent support is received in time.
