Housing provisions modified, income provisions modified, eligible uses for housing aid funds clarified, and technical changes made.

This bill modifies Minnesota housing and assistance programs by clarifying rules for who can receive housing aid funds and how wages earned from lived-experience engagement are treated. It defines specific individuals and businesses as ineligible for housing grants or loans if they or their related entities have previously received tax credits for housing investments, while also specifying that wages earned from serving as community reviewers or providing feedback on housing programs do not count as income for public assistance eligibility. The legislation also updates eligible uses for housing aid funds and removes certain reporting requirements for emergency rental assistance, while making technical changes to existing housing statutes.
