A new state-funded housing voucher program is set to launch, providing rental assistance to those in need. This program, established by the Minnesota Legislature in 2023, will distribute $123 million in funding over two years. The funding comes from state appropriations and a metro sales tax.

Residents can apply for the waitlist between October 13-15. The program will award $21 million to residents. Further details about the program and application process are available.

A total of 700 rental vouchers are expected to be funded, but more information can be found through the relevant housing authority.
