CSG Grantee List
On behalf of Hennepin County, Community Mediation & Restorative Services, Inc. (CMRS) has awarded sub-grants (totaling $240,000) to 15 Culturally-Specific community organizations to implement the County’s efforts to do housing navigation and outreach to those constituent communities and residents. The CSG Housing Navigation and Outreach project aims to enable County residents who would otherwise have difficulties in accessing resources, to benefit from Federal CARES Covid-19 housing relief dollars. To qualify for the CARES Covid housing relief assistance, residents must have lost income as a direct impact of the Coronavirus Pandemic. CSG sub-grantees and award amounts are listed below as:
