Minnesota Administrative Rules

4900.0700 EMERGENCY HOME IMPROVEMENT FUND.

The agency may establish a separate fund known as the emergency home improvement fund. The agency may make emergency home improvement grants and loans in extraordinary circumstances relating to damage to the property as a result of events beyond the control of the applicant, failure of plumbing, heating, or electrical systems, or defects in the roof or foundation systems.

Before an application to the emergency home improvement fund is accepted, the administering entity in the region in which the dwelling is located must establish that it has no funds available from its regular grant and loan funds to cover the cost of repairs. Grants and loans from the emergency home improvement fund shall be made to eligible applicants pursuant to the procedures set forth in parts 4900.0610 to 4900.0700, provided, however, that the emergency home improvement fund shall not be subject to the allocation requirements of part 4900.0620, subpart 2.
