Montanans Financially Impacted by COVID-19 Receive More Than $30 Million in Emergency Rent and Utility Assistance

“We’re proud of our caring and dedicated Emergency Rental Assistance team members for helping thousands of Montana families and individuals stay in their homes,” said Montana Department of Commerce Director Scott Osterman. “Among rural states, Montana is a leader in providing assistance to residents financially impacted by the pandemic. Just last week, we set a new record with more than $580,000 of assistance paid out in one day, which helped 124 Montana families with rent and utilities,” Osterman added.
