Homeless Response System Supplemental Resources Program
The Minnesota legislature passed and the Governor signed two bills this session that created and then amended session law that redirects dollars to address potential funding gaps among HUD Continuum of Care (CoC) grantees. In March, the legislature passed Minnesota Laws 2026, Chapter 43 and in May, HF 1141 amended that session law. In total, the session law redirects 13 million dollars, 9 million from the Strengthen Supportive Housing Program and 4 million from Agency interest earnings. The resources are to address potential funding gaps among HUD Continuum of Care (CoC) grantees for fiscal years 2024 or 2025 “whose contracts have expired or will expire before December 31, 2027, and have experienced or will experience funding gaps.”
