Bill > HF1945

This bill modifies supportive housing provisions in Minnesota, primarily expanding the number of supportive housing units from 226 to 500 in seven metropolitan counties (Anoka, Carver, Dakota, Hennepin, Ramsey, Scott, and Washington). The bill defines a "homeless adult" as someone living on the street or in a shelter, or someone discharged from a treatment center or hospital without appropriate housing. It establishes a new allocation process where each eligible county must receive a minimum of 20 supportive housing units, with the Housing Coordinating Board managing the distribution and reallocation of unused units. The bill targets housing support for adults with disabilities, including mental illness, substance abuse history, or HIV/AIDS. Additionally, the bill includes an appropriation of an unspecified amount in fiscal year 2026 to fund the expansion of supportive housing units, with administrative funding to support two full-time equivalent employees in recipient counties to process eligibility. The changes aim to provide more comprehensive housing support for vulnerable populations by increasing available units and creating a more flexible allocation system.
