The above applicant has been determined to be eligible for a subsidy in the housing Trust Fund Rental Assistance Program.  The Local Housing Organization will issue monthly housing assistance payments to a landlord on behalf of the eligible participant.  The participant is responsible for the remainder of the contract rent to the landlord.

The above applicant must locate a dwelling unit that will meet the basic guidelines for decent, safe and sanitary conditions called "Housing Quality Standards."  An inspection of the unit will be made by a representative of the Local Housing Organization.

The landlord and participant will enter into a lease and the MHFA Lease Addendum.  The landlord and Local Housing Organization will enter into a contract which outlines payment terms and owner requirements.

This Voucher does not obligate the Local Housing Organization to approve any unit or lease for any participant, owner or other party.  This Voucher does not give a participant an automatic right to participate in this program.  Participation and a commitment to provide subsidy are only finalized if a participant locates an eligible dwelling unit, it is rented under an acceptable lease, and the owner signs a Housing Voucher Contract with the Local Housing Organization.

If a household believes it has been discriminated against because of race, color, creed, religion, national origin, sex, marital status, status with regard to public assistance, disability, family status, or sexual orientation, a complaint can be filed with the Minnesota Department of Human Rights.
