Recommendations as proposed are due by January 13, 2025. Recommendations as adopted (after becoming law) are due by July 7, 2025.
In developing recommendations, the Minn. Housing Finance Agency must consider:
(1) allowing self-attestation of emergencies, assets, and income;
(2) allowing verbal authorization by applicants to allow emergency rental assistance administrators to communicate with landlords and utility providers regarding applications for assistance; and
(3) allowing landlords to apply for emergency rental assistance on tenants' behalf.
Per MHFA: "This reporting obligation has already been met. The report we sent last January covered everything we needed for both the January 2025 report and the July 2025 report because we detailed 'the recommendations adopted as required by this section.'"
