The News about the Coronavirus and the risks it poses for those who become infected is concerning to us all. During this challenging time, maintaining the health of our clients and staff is our number one priority at Rice County Housing. To help reduce the potential transmission of Coronavirus we ask that you avoid coming into our office. The Housing office will remain open, but effective immediately:
- All in-person appointments are suspended until further notice.
- Staff will contact existing appointments to cancel in-person appointment and to request return of documents by mail, fax, or email.
- Mailings will include a return checklist as a reminder of all the documents needed and will also encourage participants to return via email, mail, or fax to limit contact.
- Participants may request an in-person appointment if needed.
- All annual inspections will be canceled.
- Inspections for participants moving to a new unit and/or entering our program for the first time will continue. These are needed in order to begin housing assistance.
- All re-inspections will be completed via self-certification.
