HELENA, Mont. (NMB) – The Montana Department of Commerce has announced a partnership with the Montana Legal Services Association (MLSA) to form the Montana Eviction Intervention Project, a new program that will provide civil legal assistance for Montanans facing evictions as a result of the ongoing pandemic.
Through this project, MLSA will work with the court system to develop a referral system for people who are representing themselves in an eviction and connect those people with an attorney to provide legal services.
This project is being supported by a $70,000 grant provided to the Montana Department of Commerce using CARES Act funding and will continue through December 20th.
For more information, visit MontanaLawHelp.org or call 1-800-666-6899.
Renters who have lost income due to COVID-19 may also be eligible for monthly rent assistance through the Emergency Housing Assistance program. The deadline to apply is November 10th. Apply at CovidRelief.MT.Gov.
