Wright County Looking For Housing Vendors

Press release from the Wright County Government:

May 26, 2020

Wright County Health & Human Services (WCHHS) is seeking interested hotels, motels, or camps to enter into a contract to ensure the health and safety of Wright County residents that require sheltering. WCHHS must ensure a safe plan for individuals that require shelter and could include individuals that are exposed to COVID-19, those that are symptomatic, those known to be infected, and/or those that are unable to safely isolate in their current living situation.

In order to provide these services, a voucher system will be put in place for selected individuals to use. The resident will choose from a list of predetermined hotels, motels, or camps that have agreements in place with WCHHS. This will not only allow the individual to have safe housing but also help the greater community as well. Minimum amenities must include; a room with a bathroom, a bed, a refrigerator of any size, microwave, and telephone.

If interested in this partnership, please send an email to Michele.Raymond@co.wright.mn.us. In this email, include available capacity and nightly rates. For questions, Michele can be reached at 763-682-7722.
