The Minnesota State House of Representatives and Senate approved sweeping new housing legislation this week totaling $1 billion, which is designed to address affordable housing access and down payment issues for first-time home buyers.Housing advocates estimate that roughly 5,000 households will qualify for the bill's rent assistance program in the form of rent vouchers, and the state is expected to spend $46 million for statewide rent assistance beyond the two-year budget cycle.
