• $90 million from the Minnesota Housing Finance Agency. Of that, $40 million would come from ongoing resources from the agency's housing trust fund; $50 million would come from agency bond reserves made available for housing purposes. The agency is considering ways to lessen the financial impact on other programs, including the rent subsidy program.

• $60 million in federal tax credits.

• $160 million from federal and local governments, philanthropic and nonprofit and other state sources.

Pawlenty hopes that the $20 million in state bonding money request for this year will encourage contributions from the federal government, philanthropic organizations, non-profit organizations, local governments and the private sector.

During the 2003 Legislative Session, at the suggestion of Pawlenty, an Interagency Working Group was formed to study the issue of long-term homelessness and to develop a plan of action. By Feb. 15, the group will issue a business plan to the Legislature to end chronic homelessness in Minnesota by 2010.

The plan relies on funding from state sources, federal and local governments and philanthropic and non-profit organizations. The business plan to end long-term homelessness will outline the three major components of supportive housing: capital, operating and services.

The plan will outline how a combination of the following would serve to end long-term homelessness in Minnesota: new construction; acquisition and rehabilitation of existing units; new units integrated into mixed-income developments; and subsidies for operating assistance and housing-related services.
