Bring It Home Rental Assistance Program
The Bring It Home Rental Assistance Program, also referred to as “Bring It Home”, is a new program to create rental assistance for low-income families across Minnesota. Funded by state appropriations and a new metro sales tax for housing, the program will provide grants to eligible Program Administrators who will administer the program as direct tenant and/or project based rental assistance for cost burdened households at 50% area median income (AMI) or less. Priority for rental assistance shall be given to households earning under 30% AMI that include children.
An eligible Program Administrator is a:
- Housing Choice Voucher (HCV) administrator: A Housing and Redevelopment Authority (HRA) or other local government agency or authority that administers federal tenant-based or project-based assistance under Section 8 of the United States Housing Act of 1937;
- Tribal Entity: A Tribal government or Tribal Designated Housing Entity; or
- Nongovernmental Organization: If there is no entity in either category above with the capacity or authority to administer the program, a nongovernmental organization determined by the Minnesota Housing to have the capacity to administer the program.
