The bill amends existing legislation to increase the appropriation for the family homeless prevention and assistance program in Minnesota. Specifically, it modifies Laws 2025, chapter 32, article 1, section 2, subdivisions 1 and 10. The amendments clarify that the appropriations for the housing development fund are part of the agency's permanent budget base and specify that the family homeless prevention and assistance program is allocated funds to decrease the risk of homelessness and enhance program effectiveness.

Additionally, the bill allows new grantees to collaborate with current or former grantees in their geographic area without adhering to certain requirements of Minnesota Statutes, section 462A.204, subdivision 4. It also permits the agency to award grants to existing program grantees, bypassing some procurement provisions. The base funding for the family homeless prevention and assistance program is set at $10,719,000 for fiscal year 2028 and beyond.
