On July 21st, HOME Line hosted another COVID-19 webinar—the recording is further below. We provided an overview of the new Minnesota eviction moratorium phaseout law, and we were joined by several guest speakers from RentHelpMN who discussed and answered questions about the program and how it intersects with the phaseout. Guest speakers included: Michelle Doyal – RentHelpMN Program Manager at Minnesota Housing, and Lael Robertson – Policy Attorney at Minnesota Housing (RentHelpMN). They fielded a wide range of detailed questions about RentHelpMN.
HOME Line has been hosting webinars since mid-April on COVID-19 and how it affects Minnesota landlords and tenants. Over 6,000 tenants, social workers and landlords have watched these live presentations and over 3,200 have watched recorded versions. Consider registering for one of our upcoming webinars:
