Hennepin County Emergency Rental Assistance

Hennepin County is offering emergency rental assistance for low-income households with lost income due to COVID-19. Rent is still due during the statewide moratorium on evictions as part of Governor Walz’s emergency declaration, and renters may be at risk of eviction if they are behind on payments when the state of emergency ends.

Residents who have fallen behind on rent or utilities, or are worried about making payments on time this month, are encouraged to apply for rental assistance at hennepin.us/rent-help.

Survey Conducted by Eden Prairie Community Foundation

Because the Eden Prairie News was discontinued earlier this spring, the Eden Prairie Community Foundation is conducting a survey of residents to determine the level of interest in a new local media source. Provide your feedback here.
