Assistance and Eviction Prevention

Helping Minnesotans achieve stable housing is our primary goal in our Prevention Program at Lutheran Social Service of Minnesota (LSS). We do this by providing direct assistance when funding is available, connecting individuals and families to other organizations that can provide direct assistance and by being a resource to connect households to other support they need.
