Financial Assistance

360 Communities helps people with rental assistance, screening for other available financial aid, resource navigation, and referrals, access to legal kiosks, and emergency food.  Please read carefully if you need help paying past due rent or utilities and are a Dakota County resident.

Applying for financial assistance in Dakota County requires taking the following steps one at a time. When you receive a denial from one step, you can move on to the next. If you need assistance applying for these programs, gathering documents, or interpreting the applications, you can always call 360 Communities and ask for application assistance at (952) 985-5300.

Legal Kiosks

The COVID-19 pandemic forced the legal system online, creating a digital divide that has disproportionately impacted communities served by Minnesota Legal Aid. The Minnesota Legal Services Coalition began the Legal Kiosk Project to ensure all people can access the legal system, resources, and justice.

360 Communities is a proud host of Legal Kiosks at our Burnsville and Rosemount Resource Centers. If you or someone you know would like to use the Legal Kiosks, visit one of our resource centers Monday through Thursday.

360 Communities is partnering with Dakota County, Southern Minnesota Regional Legal Services (SMRLS) and Legal Assistance of Dakota County to provide a housing clinic to support tenants who are appearing in court for eviction hearings. With the goal of reducing the number of evictions, the housing clinic offers people access to legal services, financial assistance, and community resources.

Dakota County Video Interview (VI)

In partnership with Dakota County, our Resource Centers are host sites for a virtual program for individuals/families applying for public assistance. Dakota County Video Interview (VI) workers are available by video conference on Wednesdays at the Burnsville and Rosemount Resource Centers. Dakota County VI workers can process applications for the Minnesota Family Investment Program (MFIP), General Assistance (GA), Supplemental Nutrition Assistance Program (SNAP), Emergency Assistance, and Healthcare programs (MNSURE or MA). Anyone interested can make an appointment by calling Burnsville or Rosemount Resource Centers.
