Bill > HF2706

This bill provides $2,000,000 in funding to Isuroon, a 501(c)(3) nonprofit organization that serves immigrant and refugee communities, to help prevent evictions and provide rental assistance in Minnesota. The money will be transferred from the state's general fund to the housing development fund in fiscal year 2026, and then appropriated as a grant to Isuroon. The grant funds will be used specifically for direct rent payments to landlords for tenants with overdue rent, eviction prevention services including mediation and navigation assistance, and culturally responsive outreach and case management services. To ensure accountability, Isuroon is required to submit annual reports to legislative committees until 2027, detailing the number of families served, the total amount of rent assistance distributed, and the outcomes of their eviction prevention efforts. This targeted approach aims to support vulnerable immigrant and refugee families who may be at risk of housing instability by providing culturally sensitive support and financial assistance.
