Minnesota Housing Finance Agency audit required, report required, and money appropriated.

HF 2754 requires an independent audit of the Minnesota Housing Finance Agency's compliance with equal opportunity laws and programs, specifically focusing on disparities in housing access for African Americans. It appropriates funds from the general fund for fiscal year 2026 to hire an auditor and establish a citizen oversight committee, working with the Council for Minnesotans of African Heritage. The committee must inventory relevant equal opportunity laws, oversee the audit, and submit findings and recommendations to the governor and legislative committees before the 2026 legislative session begins. This bill directly affects the agency's operations and accountability regarding fair housing practices.
