Dear Neighbors,
Deadline for Housing Assistance is Tonight!
If you are struggling paying the rent, mortgage, homeowners association dues, homeowners insurance or utilities there is still over $30 million in available funds to help Minnesotans like you. There is still significant help for you if your income has been affected by Covid, but you must apply by midnight tonight, you can apply here. Please, if you know anyone in your life who has struggled during the pandemic, encourage them to apply. This funding could go a long way to helping lesson the impact of our ongoing housing crisis. Please apply today!
New Budget Forecast
Minnesota Management and Budget (MMB) announced the November Economic Forecast, projecting a $641 million surplus for the current budget cycle, while a deficit of $1.273 billion is projected for the 2022-2023 biennium beginning July 1.
This economic projection shows that Minnesota is well positioned to provide immediate economic aid to workers and small businesses. There have been clear winners and losers of the Covid economy and it is our job at the Legislature to ensure that those who have been hardest hit are able to survive this ongoing crisis. We will continue to work towards a new economic package that will help those Minnesotans and businesses that are hurting the most.
