Emergency Mortgage & Rent Assistance

Important Notice: 

At this time due to high demand, funding has been fully allocated and we are not accepting new applications. We encourage you to complete our brief survey to help us better understand the ongoing needs in our community and prioritize future funding efforts. The pre-application survey (link is located near the bottom of the page) also allows us to contact you should additional resources become available. Please check this page regularly for updates on funding availability. We remain committed to supporting local households and will reopen applications as soon as funding is renewed. If you are experiencing a housing crisis, we recommend contacting your local health and human services department or 2-1-1 for immediate support. Thank you for your patience and understanding.



The Emergency Assistance Program provides one time, short-term financial support for eligible individuals and families facing urgent housing-related needs, specifically for rent or mortgage payments. This program is designed to help prevent eviction or foreclosure during times of crisis, ensuring that individuals and families can remain in their homes. This is a one time assistance program. Applications are accepted on a rolling basis.


Our goal is to offer a safety net for those facing temporary financial hardship and help stabilize housing situations in our community.  This is made possible through an initial grant provided by the St. Croix Valley Foundation. 


Applicants must reside in our service area, provide income verification items, a copy of the rental agreement/lease, and a copy of a mortgage or rental statement showing delinquency. Assistance is capped at $500 per application and will be paid directly to the mortgage lender/bank or landlord. Funds are limited and are available on a first come, first serve basis.


Start by completing our pre-application survey—this is the first step in determining your eligibility for support. Click the link to begin your application today!
