TPS and Lutheran Social Services have new services/funding available to assist TPS families who are currently homeless or experiencing housing instability. Please email MVHEARThousing@tps.org with your basic information and what assistance you are looking for. Once you email you will receive an auto reply screener where you will fill out your information. This will help to determine what you qualify for and which assistance will help you best.
TPS is partnering with Lutheran Social Services in this work so that our families can not only get immediate rental assistance but also wraparound services such as financial coaching.
