Eviction Prevention Program

Financial help to help families pay past due rent and home mortgage payments

Body

The Family Homeless Eviction Prevention and Assistance Program is a comprehensive program that can provide support to your household to prevent homelessness and to assist people experiencing homelessness who will be securing housing. 

The goals of the Family Homeless Prevention and Assistance Program are to:

  1. Prevent homelessness
  2. Minimize the number of people who are unhoused
  3. Eliminate repeated episodes of homelessness

Eviction Prevention can provide financial help to pay outstanding (past due) rent and home mortgage for families with dependent children that reside in Ramsey County so that you can remain in your current home.
