Walz signs housing, Veterans omnibus bills into law

The housing finance and policy omnibus bill includes $1 billion for state-based housing vouchers, home construction, pathways to homeownership, and other housing assistance. The DFL has called it the largest single housing investment in state history.

“As one of the largest costs for families and most foundational human needs, our Administration is making a generational investment in housing,” Walz said. “Housing is central to growing our workforce and ensuring Minnesotans’ health, safety, and financial security. Whether it’s building new housing infrastructure, providing rental assistance, or ensuring homeownership is an option for all Minnesotans, this bill will have a historic impact on the quality of life in Minnesota and move us towards becoming the best state to raise a family.”

The governor also signed the veterans and military affairs finance omnibus bill, which he and lawmakers say will move the state closer to ending Veteran homelessness.

Additionally, the bill includes funding for additional service bonuses, three new Veterans homes, and Minnesota National Guard health and training.

Unlike the housing bill, the veterans bill had near-unanimous support from Minnesota lawmakers.
