Bill > SF2848

This bill appropriates $2,000,000 in fiscal year 2026 from the general fund to the housing development fund, specifically for a grant to Isuroon, a 501(c)(3) nonprofit organization that provides culturally responsive housing assistance to immigrant and refugee families in Minnesota. The grant money will be used for three primary purposes: (1) making direct rent payments to landlords on behalf of tenants with overdue rent, (2) providing eviction prevention, mediation, and navigation services, and (3) offering culturally responsive outreach and case management services. As part of the bill's accountability measures, Isuroon is required to submit annual reports to legislative committee chairs and ranking minority members until 2027, detailing the number of families served, total rent assistance distributed, and the outcomes of their eviction prevention efforts. This one-time transfer and appropriation aims to support vulnerable immigrant and refugee populations in maintaining stable housing and avoiding eviction.
