| Housing and Job Growth Initiative |
| The Governor recommends a one-time investment in the Housing and Job Growth initiative. The additional funding for the |
| Economic Development and Housing Challenge Program would facilitate housing in areas where job growth is occurring |
| but existing affordable housing stock is not sufficient to meet the needs of the workers. Funding will become available |
| when employers or a consortium of employers makes meaningful contributions to address a shortage of affordable |
| housing in their community. Minnesota Housing and the Department of Employment and Economic Development will |
| collaborate to identify areas of need. |
| Performance Measures: |
| This initiative will result in housing that is affordable to the local workforce in areas of job growth. |

| Rental Assistance for Highly Mobile Students Initiative |
| The Governor recommends short-term and time-limited rental assistance and supportive services for families with |
| school-aged children who move frequently. The goal of this initiative is to allow for children to attend the same school |
| without interruption through the school year. Research shows that students who move frequently have low attendance |
| rates, which impacts student achievement, leads to truancy, and is a precursor to dropping out. Minnesota Housing and |
| the Department of Education will collaborate on this initiative. |
| Performance Measures: |
| Increased housing stability and increased school attendance are two measures of the short-term benefits of this initiative. |
| The long-term goal is for educational achievement to improve. |

| Re-Entry Rental Assistance Initiative |
| The Governor recommends funding rental assistance for ex-offenders. This assistance would help ex-offenders to secure |
| stable housing in communities with access to jobs, transportation and other services. Rental assistance is part of a |
| comprehensive approach to helping persons who are formerly incarcerated on the path to safe, stable and productive |
| lives. Minnesota Housing and the Department of Corrections will collaborate on this initiative. |
| Performance Measures: |
| The goal of this initiative is to support successful reintegration into the community and to reduce recidivism. The extent to |
| which the participants remain in housing and the rate of employment or participation in education or training are additional |
| measures of success. |

| Reallocation from PARIF to Rehabilitation Loan Program |
| The Governor recommends a technical realignment among existing resources. The realignment would reallocate state |
| resources to housing rehabilitation, both rental and homeownership, and reallocate federal resources to housing |
| preservation. The realignment provides more efficient use of federal resources. |
| Performance Measures: |
| Preservation of existing federally subsidized rental housing remains a priority for Minnesota Housing. This is measured by |
| the number of rental units preserved. |
