African American workforce and affordable homeownership development program established, and money appropriated.

HF 2507 establishes a program to fund affordable homeownership projects specifically targeting African American households and using African American workers in development. It appropriates money for grants to cities, tribal governments, nonprofits, and community land trusts to cover costs like land acquisition, environmental cleanup, design, rehabilitation, and construction training. Projects must serve African American households earning 80% or less of the state median income for African Americans and prioritize African American-run workforce development and housing programs. The program requires grant funds to directly support both affordable housing construction and job training/employment opportunities for African Americans.
