Apply for rent assistance

PLEASE READ:  Each month, VEAP accepts a set number of applications for our rent and utility assistance program. Not everyone who applies will receive assistance. Below you will find the application. The application is only open for a limited window of time on the morning of the 28th each month.

Applicants are encouraged to call or apply the morning of the 28th. If the 28th falls on a weekend, we will open the application the Friday before. Please note that households are eligible to apply to VEAP for financial assistance once every 24 months.

If you live in Bloomington, Edina, Richfield or South Minneapolis zip codes 55410, 55417 or 55419, VEAP may be able to assist with your rent, security deposit, or utility bill. Please fill out the online application below to be considered for assistance. You may call VEAP at 952-888-9616 and leave a voicemail for the social services team at x147, if you need assistance with the online application, but calling in is not required if you’ve already completed the online application.

Once you’ve completed the online application, one of our case managers will call you back to conduct a phone assessment with you to determine your eligibility for financial assistance. Learn more about our social services programming. Additionally, you may access resources at mnbenefits.org.
