The bill H. F. No. 2335 aims to enhance housing policy and finance in Minnesota by establishing a budget for the Minnesota Housing Finance Agency and modifying various housing provisions. It focuses on expanding homeownership, manufactured home, and rent assistance programs, while increasing the requirements and amounts for housing infrastructure bonds. Key insertions include detailed appropriations for programs such as the economic development and housing challenge program, manufactured home park infrastructure grants, and the family homeless prevention and assistance program. The bill also emphasizes the collection of demographic data to address disparities in homeownership rates among different racial and ethnic groups, and introduces a metropolitan region sales tax to support affordable housing initiatives.

Additionally, the bill establishes several grant programs aimed at improving housing affordability and safety, including a High-Rise Sprinkler System Grant Program and a community stabilization program for preserving affordable housing. It introduces a rent assistance program with defined eligibility criteria and prioritizes assistance for households with children and those in greatest need. The legislation also mandates reporting requirements for accountability and transparency in fund usage. Significant changes include the deletion of references to the Department of Management and Budget, replacing it with the Minnesota Housing Finance Agency, and the introduction of a definition for "workforce housing project." Overall, the bill seeks to enhance housing stability and accessibility for vulnerable populations in Minnesota through targeted funding and support mechanisms.
