Because of the crisis in Minnesota, families who were stable just weeks ago are staring at eviction notices. To address this crisis, we are launching a campaign focused solely on paying March rent for the most vulnerable families.
Can you afford to give $500-3000? Sign up to adopt a family’s rent. A single month covered can prevent eviction, keep a family housed, and save thousands in downstream public costs that come when people are forced into shelters or onto waiting lists that are already full. Your contribution doesn’t go into a bureaucracy — it goes straight toward keeping a Minnesota family in their home.
Whether you can give $5 or $500,000, every dollar helps. We have curated a list below of rent funds we know are moving money quickly out the door.
