To receive housing aid from the State of Minnesota, Washington County must agree to use the money to add to its current locally funded housing programs—not replace the funds it already spends. This means the aid must help create new programs or expand existing ones. From 2023 to 2024, Washington County did not cut any of its local (non-LAHA) housing funds.
