Statewide local housing aid eligibility expansion

This bill expands the types of projects that Minnesota local governments can fund with state housing aid, including emergency rental assistance, nonprofit housing support, and market-rate housing development in non-metro areas. It also clarifies how funds can be used for demolition projects and requires new buildings with more than four units to include accessible and sensory-accessible units. Additionally, the bill extends the deadline for spending certain housing aid funds and allows unspent funds to be transferred to local housing trust funds if local governments face uncontrollable delays. These changes aim to provide more flexibility and broaden the scope of eligible housing projects across the state.
