This bill amends Minnesota Statutes 2024, section 462A.07, by adding a new subdivision that mandates proof of citizenship or lawful immigration status as a requirement for receiving rental assistance or down payment assistance. Specifically, the bill stipulates that the agency responsible for administering these forms of housing assistance must obtain verification of lawful residency for each adult member of a household prior to issuing any payments.

The new legal language introduced in this bill emphasizes the importance of lawful residency in the context of housing support, thereby potentially impacting the eligibility of certain individuals seeking assistance. This change aims to ensure that only those who meet the specified residency criteria can access state-funded housing resources.
