Support Available For Housing Insecurity

As Montana heads deeper into winter, state officials want folks to know financial support is available for those facing housing insecurity during the colder months.

The Montana Emergency Rental Assistance Program has distributed more than $32 million to more than 4,800 Montanans since the program launched last April.

Cheryl Cohen, housing division administrator for the Montana Department of Commerce, said the aid is available to folks who have experienced financial hardship either directly or indirectly because of the COVID-19 pandemic.

“The family also needs to have an annual gross income of less than 80 percent of median income,” Cohen explained.
