Subject: Discussion with Dakota County CDA Regarding Local Affordable Housing Aid
(LAHA) Collaboration Opportunities
Meeting: Council Work Session - Jul 01 2024
INTRODUCTION:
On May 15, 2023, Governor Walz signed the $1.065 billion housing omnibus bill, creating Local
Affordable Housing Aid (LAHA) that provides direct annual allocations to metro cities and counties
for been has Staff CDA housing. affordable and in developing of purpose the preserving
conversations since last year with Dakota County cities to discuss potential programs and ways to
work together to leverage the funding and assist in the deployment of LAHA in the communities.
CDA has experience in administering such programs and is proposing that cities enter into formal
agreements with the CDA to deploy LAHA resources. Dakota County is estimated to receive
$7,328,569 in year one, the eleven Tier 1 cities in Dakota County are estimated to collectively
receive $3,865,192, of which Farmington is estimated to receive $181,406.

DISCUSSION:
The housing omnibus bill signed by Governor Walz created a new 0.25 percent metro sales tax to
fund rental assistance, as well as the Local Affordable Housing Aid (LAHA) that provides direct
annual allocations to metro cities and counties for the purpose of developing and preserving
affordable housing. The qualifying uses of the funds are broad and range from preservation and
Page 3 of 33
new construction of income-qualified rental units, preservation and new construction of income-
qualified homeownership units, financial support to non-housing providers, and emergency rental
assistance to income-eligible households. Currently the Dakota County CDA administers a number
of housing programs and is proposing that the CDA could support cities by administering three
potential programs on their behalf:
1. Enhanced Single-Family Home Improvement Program
2. Radon Mitigation Grant Program
3. Preservation and New Construction Gap Financing
These programs build upon existing CDA programs and would be relatively easy for the CDA to
start and administer - including all annual reporting requirements. CDA Staff including Tony
Schertler, Executive Director, Lisa Alfson, Director of Community and Economic Development, and
Maggie Dykes, Assistant Director of Community and Economic Development will attend the work
session to present the three programs and discuss collaborating with Farmington to deploy LAHA
funds.

ACTION REQUESTED:
The City Council is asked to participate in the conversation about LAHA collaboration and provide
direction on interest and willingness to enter into a formal agreement with the Dakota County CDA
to deploy LAHA funds.

Local and Statewide Affordable Housing Aid:
Frequently Asked Questions
In 2023, the Minnesota Legislature authorized aid payments to counties, cities and Tribal Nations. The
goal is to fund affordable housing projects and help organizations provide affordable and supportive
housing.
Local Affordable Housing Aid (LAHA) is aid to metropolitan local governments. LAHA is funded through
a new dedicated sales tax in the seven-county metropolitan area. As sales taxes will vary, the amount
of LAHA distributed will also vary.
Statewide Affordable Housing Aid (SAHA) is funded by state funds appropriated to the Department of
Revenue. All Minnesota counties, seven Tribal Nations and 37 cities will receive this aid.
Aid payments are made directly to local governments. In the metro, aid is funded by the sales tax for
housing. Statewide, aid is funded by state appropriations.
Throughout the document, “housing aid” is used when the response applies to both LAHA and SAHA.
Note: The information provided in this document does not constitute legal advice and is subject to
change. If there are questions regarding how program requirements or criteria apply in specific
circumstances, please consult with your own legal counsel.
Overview and Requirements
Why is there a difference between SAHA and LAHA?
The primary differences between LAHA and SAHA are the way they are funded, when funding will be
disbursed and to whom.
Both aid projects have the same eligible uses and requirements except for market rate housing. This is
only available in certain non-metropolitan areas using SAHA.
What are the eligible uses of housing aid programs?
Qualifying projects are:
Page 20 of 33
2
• Emergency rental assistance for households earning less than 80% of area median income
(AMI) as determined by the U.S. Department of Housing and Urban Development (HUD)
• Financial support to nonprofit affordable housing providers in their mission to provide safe,
dignified, affordable and supportive housing
• Development of market rate residential rental properties outside of the metro area if certain
conditions are met
• Projects designed for the purpose of construction, acquisition, rehabilitation, demolition or
removal of existing structures, construction financing, permanent financing, interest rate
reduction, refinancing and gap financing of affordable housing
For more information, Minnesota Statute has the complete list of LAHA qualifying projects (see
subdivision 4) and SAHA qualifying project (see subd. 4).
What is gap financing?
Gap financing is the difference between the property costs (including acquisition, demolition,
rehabilitation and construction) and
• The market value of the property upon sale
OR
• The amount the target household can afford for housing (based on industry standards and
practices)
What are the affordability requirements of LAHA and SAHA?
Specific income requirements are provided for:
• Emergency Rental Assistance
o Less than 80% of AMI
• Homeownership
o At or below 115% of the greater of state or area median income
o Priority for those at or below 80%
• Rental Housing
o At or below 80% of the greater of state or area median income
o Priority for those at or below 50%
State and area median incomes are determined by HUD.
While there are no income requirements or income qualification for projects supporting nonprofits,
organizations should be providing affordable or supportive housing.
Page 21 of 33
3
Some non-metropolitan communities may be eligible to spend aid on market rate developments.
There are no income requirements for market rate housing under this category.
Are there other requirements if using these funds?
Yes. If LAHA or SAHA is used for new construction or substantial rehabilitation of a building with more
than four units, the building must be constructed, converted or otherwise adapted to include
accessibility features, such as sensory-accessible (see subd. 4). Documentation will be required for
reporting and compliance.
State Agency Roles and Reporting Requirements
What roles do the Department of Revenue and Minnesota Housing play in distributing and
tracking local housing aid?
The Department of Revenue calculates and distributes the amount of aid available to each
government. Revenue also accepts applications from eligible Tribal Nations.
Minnesota Housing’s statutory role relates to reporting and compliance. First reports are due by
December 1, 2025. While not required by the legislation, Minnesota Housing is hiring staff to support
housing aid programs with technical assistance and coordination.
Does a city, county or Tribe need to apply to receive the funds?
For cities and counties there is no application process. Revenue will distribute aid according to
statutory requirements.
Tribal Nations eligible for SAHA must apply to receive funds annually. Tribes should work with Revenue
to meet this annual requirement.
Does a city, county or Tribe need to seek preapproval before spending the funds?
No. Approval is not needed before spending funds. However, funds must be used on qualifying projects
and expenditures should be documented to avoid repayment or recapture.
Will Minnesota Housing be developing a program guide for housing aid?
No. Housing aid is not a grant or loan program and is not subject to a program guide.
Minnesota Housing will support housing aid programs through guidance and staff support.
Page 22 of 33
4
What are the reporting requirements for the funds?
Beginning in 2025, housing aid recipients must submit a report to Minnesota Housing every year by
December 1.
The report must include documentation (see subd. 6(b)) of:
• Qualifying projects completed or planned with the funds
• Location of unspent funds
• Inability to spend on a qualifying project prior to the deadline (if funds deposited into a local
housing trust fund)
• Accessibility requirements (for project of four or more units)
• Relevant resolution and certifications for market rate developments in non-metropolitan
communities
Additional guidance on the report’s format will be provided in the future.
Do metropolitan counties need to submit a report for LAHA and one for SAHA?
Minnesota Housing is determining if the reports must remain separate. However, if they do, the report
format will be the same or substantially similar for LAHA and SAHA.
What happens if a city, county or Tribal Nation does not submit a report or does not spend
the funds?
Reports are due by December 1 every year. The first report is due on December 1, 2025.
If the aid recipient fails to submit a report, does not spend funds during the required timeframe, or
spends funds on an ineligible project, they must repay the funds. Revenue may also suspend payments
to these entities.
Find details on LAHA timelines (see subd. 6) and SAHA timelines (see subd. 6).
What happens to the aid funds if they are returned or recaptured?
If returned, aid funds would be deposited with one or more of Minnesota Housing’s programs. This
includes Family Homeless Prevention and Assistance Program (FHPAP), the Economic Development
and Housing Challenge Program (Challenge), and the Workforce and Affordable Homeownership
Development Program as specified in law.
Page 23 of 33
5
Will Minnesota Housing be monitoring the use of housing aid prior to the reporting deadline
for cities and counties?
Minnesota Housing will not require reporting prior to December 1, 2025, when the first report is due
from cities and counties.
However, Minnesota Housing will be checking in with local governments to offer support and track
spending progress.
Definitions and Clarifications
What is a Tier I and a Tier II city?
The terms Tier I and Tier II are used to determine cities that will receive aid.
A Tier I city is a statutory or home rule charter city that is a city of the first, second or third class. For
LAHA, it must be in a metropolitan county. For SAHA, it must not be in a metropolitan county. Read the
full definition of cities and classes.
A Tier II city is a statutory or home rule charter city that is a city of the fourth class and not located in a
metropolitan county (see subd. 4).
The bill requires aid be spent on a qualified project. What is the definition of spent? If a
project is started but not completed, are the funds considered to be spent?
Minnesota Housing is seeking clarification on the definition of spent.
Is SAHA funding from appropriations ongoing?
The following table reflects amounts appropriated to SAHA through the fiscal year ending in 2027. The
appropriations are set at a base level with one-time increases in the first two years.

How were the funding allocations determined?
Revenue determined allocations based on distribution formulas.
For counties and cities, these formulas consider cost-burdened households and total population. For
Tribal Nations, funds are divided equally between eligible Tribes that apply by the deadline.
Will Tier II cities receive a disbursement of SAHA?
Tier II cities will not receive a direct disbursement of SAHA.
However, the Legislature appropriated $4.5 million for Tier II cities. Funds will be available as grants in
the competitive process for a range of rental, homeownership and housing stability activities with a
minimum award size of $25,000.
Minnesota Housing will be preparing a program guide, a list of eligible Tier II cities and a request for
proposals (RFP) in 2024.
Qualifying Projects and Expenses
What portion of the housing aid funds can be used for staffing costs and administrative
costs?
Administrative costs and staffing costs are not listed as a qualifying project. Therefore, the funds are
not able to be used for these costs.
If funds are used for Emergency Rental Assistance (ERA), what portion can be used for
navigation, services and administration related to ERA provision and programs?
Minnesota Housing is seeking clarification on how funds for ERA can be used.
If aid funds are used for demolition or removal of existing structures, does affordable
housing need to be constructed on the site?
Yes. The expense must be tied to affordable housing for eligible households. Demolition or clearing of
land alone, including for speculative or future development of eligible housing, is not a qualifying
project.
Page 25 of 33
7
Can funds be used for planning activities (soft costs) for new construction and preservation
affordable housing projects?
Soft costs are only eligible as part of a qualifying project. General or speculative planning activities
unrelated to a qualifying project are not an allowed use of funds.
Can funds be used for downpayment assistance for homebuyers?
Qualifying projects include homeownership projects for income-eligible households.
Downpayment assistance may be provided as permanent financing or gap financing, depending on
program requirements established by the aid recipient.
Can the housing aid funds immediately be deposited into a Local Housing Trust Fund?
Funds can be held in a local housing trust fund while recipients determine if a project qualifies.
Funds must be spent on a qualifying project by the deadline in statute. Funds remaining in a local
housing trust fund past the deadline will only be considered “spent” on a qualifying project if the aid
recipient demonstrates that it could not spend funds by the deadline due to factors outside their
control.
Can funds be transferred to a county or regional Housing and Redevelopment Authority
(HRA) if they are spent on qualifying projects?
Yes. Funds can be transferred to a county or regional HRA if they are spent on qualifying projects.
The original aid recipient is still responsible for all requirements related to the funds, including
reporting.
Can funds be used for developing new infrastructure, such as utilities and roads, or
upgrading existing infrastructure if the infrastructure serves affordable housing?
Potentially. The infrastructure would need to be part of a qualifying project. All requirements related
to project type, income affordability and other accessible requirements would also need to be met.
Speculative site and infrastructure development would not be eligible.
Infrastructure development or improvement for sites that include development uses not allowed
under this aid program would not be eligible.
What are some examples of expenditures ineligible for housing aid?
Housing aid should be used for projects that create and preserve affordable housing or stabilize the
housing of low-income people. This does not include:
Page 26 of 33
8
• Shelter and other non-permanent housing options for people experiencing homelessness,
including operating costs and services
• Conducting a housing or zoning study
• Costs to create a Housing Improvement Area
• Staff and services related to general housing quality and licensure, such as code enforcement
• Staff and administrative costs for operation of an HRA or county or city housing department
• Commercial, industrial or public space development projects
• Projects located outside of Minnesota
If funds are used to support a nonprofit organization, do they need to be tracked to
qualifying projects?
Housing aid can be used to provide financial support to a nonprofit affordable housing provider in their
mission to provide safe, dignified, affordable and supportive housing.
If aid is used in this manner, providing support to the eligible nonprofit is the qualifying project. The aid
recipient should document that the funds were used to support the organization’s mission.
Can a county or city use other state or federal funding as part of a development financing
package that includes housing aid funds?
Yes. State and federal funding can be used as a part of the project’s development financing package.
If the funds are held in a Local Housing Trust Fund, can they be used as a match in Minnesota
Housing’s Local Housing Trust Funds Matching Grants program?
No. Housing aid cannot be used as matching funds in the Local Housing Trust Fund Grants program.
Only new public revenue, defined as local income committed to the Local Housing Trust Fund on or
after June 29, 2021, can be used as matching funds.
Can a county use its funds within cities that have also received housing aid?
Yes. Counties can spend the funds on qualifying projects anywhere in the county, including cities that
directly receive aid. Regional collaboration is encouraged to maximize the aid’s impact.
A county receiving aid should consult with the cities where projects are planned (see subd. 7).
Will the aid funds trigger other state funding requirements, such as prevailing wage?
For questions on labor and wage requirements, contact the Department of Labor and Industry.
For questions on fund allocation, visit Local Affordable Housing Aid and Statewide Affordable Housing
Aid.
