(1) provide rental assistance to individuals with a minor child at risk of being homeless and who have been victims of domestic violence, sexual assault, trafficking, international abusive marriage, or forced marriage;

 

(2) require the participants to pay at least 30 percent of the participant's income toward the rent;

 

(3) allow the families to choose their own housing, including single-family homes, townhomes, and apartments;

 

(4) give priority to large families who experience barriers in accessing housing, including having limited English proficiency, lack of positive rental history, employment history, and financial history; and

 

(5) require the program participants to be employed, or actively seeking employment, or be engaged in activities that will assist them in gaining employment.

 

Subd. 2.  Program evaluation.  All grant recipients must collect and make available to the commissioner of the Housing Finance Agency aggregate data to assist the agency in the evaluation of the program.  The commissioner of housing finance shall evaluate the program effectiveness and measure the number of families served from emerging communities, the support services provided for families in seeking employment and achieving economic stability, and the employment and housing status of the participants."

(12) any other criteria the commissioner deems necessary.

 

(c) Upon receiving notification of local approval under subdivision 2, the commissioner shall review the determination by the local government and consider the conditions listed in paragraphs (a) and (b) to determine whether it is in the best interests of the state and local area to designate a business as a Minnesota job creation fund business.
