Minnesota leaders are urging tenants who have sunk into debt during the pandemic to apply for hundreds of millions of dollars in rental help.
Gov. Tim Walz and housing officials on Friday called on people to file for federal aid, which the state is rolling out as the Legislature contemplates how to end an eviction moratorium.
"We cannot have a cascade of evictions that both decimate families, community," Walz said, adding that it "economically would be catastrophic."
