Nobles County shifts 2026 SAHA split to 50/50; $24,921 earmarked for Rebuild Together Minnesota
Summary
The board approved a 50/50 split of the Statewide Affordable Housing Aid for 2026, allocating $24,921 to Rebuild Together Minnesota and $24,921 to Community Services, changing the county’s historical 75/25 split.
Staff recommended the Nobles County Board change its local use of the Statewide Affordable Housing Aid (SAHA) from a historical 75/25 split to a 50/50 split for 2026. Under the recommendation, Rebuild Together Minnesota and Community Services would each receive $24,921.00. The board acted to acknowledge a $24,921.00 cost-share to Rebuild Together Minnesota as funds are received by the county; the motion was moved by Commissioner Bob Paplow and seconded by Commissioner Gene Metz.
Minutes indicate Rebuild Together Minnesota uses SAHA funds to leverage additional funding for home repairs that allow residents to remain in place; Community Services historically used funds for housing‑related emergencies. The minutes do not list the total statewide appropriation amount here — they record only the county’s local allocations and the change in local distribution for 2026.
