Homelessness Prevention & Assistance
Otter Tail County can refer individuals and families to the following resources to prevent homelessness and find shelter.
Prevent Homelessness
The Family Homeless Prevention & Assistance Program (FHPAP) provides assistance to households experiencing homelessness or who are at imminent risk of homelessness.
Funds can be used for direct assistance (rent, utilities, and other expenses) or services (housing search or navigation, support services, case management, independent living skills, or other approved services) to households who are at or below 200 percent of federal poverty guidelines and who are homeless or at imminent risk of homelessness.
MAHUBE-OTWA Community Action Partnership is the local program administrator. Contact MAHUBE-OTWA for assistance.
Finding Shelter
If you are in need of a place to stay tonight because you do not have housing, contact Otter Tail County Human Services and they will direct you to a shelter.
Contact MAHUBE-OTWA, the local coordinated entry provider for an assessment of your housing and service needs.
If you are in need of a safe place to stay because you are fleeing an unsafe environment at home, contact the MN Day One Crisis Hotline to speak with an advocate who can guide you to a service provider and safe place.
