Workforce homeownership program appropriation

This bill appropriates $30.25 million annually from the state general fund to the Minnesota Housing Finance Agency for the existing workforce homeownership program (under Minnesota Statutes §462A.38). The funding, starting in fiscal year 2026 and continuing through 2028 and beyond, directly supports the agency’s efforts to help low-to-moderate-income workers purchase homes. It does not change eligibility rules or program structure but provides dedicated annual funding for the agency to administer the program. This is a funding measure, not a policy change, specifically allocating resources to an established housing initiative.
