Bill > HF2019

This bill amends Minnesota Statutes to expand affordable housing aids funding by increasing appropriations from the general fund for fiscal years 2026 and 2027. Specifically, the bill provides an additional $17 million annually to counties, $5 million annually to tier I cities (which are typically larger municipalities), and $3 million annually to eligible Tribal Nations. These appropriations are to be made by the commissioner of revenue and are intended to support affordable housing initiatives. The bill allows the commissioner flexibility in computing and distributing additional aid amounts for the 2025 payment year, with a specific provision that these changes will be effective for aids payable in 2025 and 2026. This builds upon previous appropriations in fiscal years 2024 and 2025, continuing the state's commitment to supporting housing assistance across different levels of government and indigenous communities.
