Community Stabilization Project grant funding provided, and money appropriated.

HF 2837 appropriates $100,000 for fiscal year 2026 and $100,000 for fiscal year 2027 from the general fund to the Housing Finance Agency for the Community Stabilization Project in St. Paul. The grant funds will directly assist both tenants and landlords in St. Paul by providing landlords with regulatory guidance, promoting sustainable property management, improving landlord-tenant relationships to reduce disputes, and helping tenants access rental assistance or payment plans. The bill requires the funding to specifically support tools for landlords to comply with housing rules, reduce rental turnover, and address payment issues for at-risk tenants. This is a targeted funding measure focused on stabilizing housing in St. Paul through practical support for both sides of rental agreements.
