Additional $50 million secured for homeless prevention program

To support households that are either homeless or at risk of homelessness, the Minnesota Housing Finance Agency will receive a one-time $50 million appropriation in fiscal year 2023 for the Family Homeless Prevention and Assistance Program that provides support services and financial assistance.

Effective April 1, 2023, the law also specifies that qualified families may receive more than 24 months of rental assistance.

Additionally, the agency must “make best efforts” to spend the appropriation by June 30, 2024, and may award grants to existing grantees without further requests for proposals.

Rep. Michael Howard (DFL-Richfield) and Sen. Lindsey Port (DFL-Burnsville) are the sponsors.
