HOME Line advises quarter-millionth client since opening in 1992

May 4, 2020 by Eric Hauge

HOME Line’s tenant hotline opened in January 1992. Back then, it covered the suburbs of Hennepin County. Now, twenty-eight years later, HOME Line covers the entire state of Minnesota, offering timely, accurate and confidential legal advice to any Minnesota renter free of charge.

At 12:05 pm on May 4, 2020, we hit a big milestone: 250,000 renter households served—a quarter million.

Every client has mattered, but in the last six weeks, our service seems more important than ever. We’re helping thousands of renter households understand the most complicated set of ever-changing tenant/landlord laws covering the most essential thing in most people’s lives right now: their home.

If you are financially able, there are endless ways to make donations to worthwhile causes right now. But know that helping to fund HOME Line’s work, which has been uninterrupted through the COVID-19 crisis, will likely help thousands of low-income Minnesota families navigate the very uncertain waters that they are facing and will continue to face.

  • We rely on the support of the community to help us continue to offer trainings and provide free and essential legal advice to tenants who call or email–over 15,000 renter households each year.  Your support to HOME Line assists us in integrating legal services, organizing, and public policy.
  • We only need this if you want a receipt to get a tax deduction.
