This bill aims to increase the appropriation for the Bring It Home rental assistance program in Minnesota. It amends existing legislation from Laws 2025, specifically targeting chapter 32, article 1, section 2, subdivisions 1 and 6. The amendments clarify the spending amounts for various housing purposes and ensure that the appropriations are part of the agency's permanent budget base.
Notably, the bill introduces new legal language that establishes a base funding amount of $48,000,000 for the rental assistance program starting in fiscal year 2028 and beyond. This change is intended to enhance the financial support available for housing assistance, thereby addressing the ongoing housing challenges faced by residents in Minnesota.
