Group Residential Housing (GRH) is a state-funded income supplement program that pays for room and board costs for low-income adults who live in a licensed or registered setting with which the county or tribal human service agency has negotiated a monthly rate. State statute allows for providers of supportive housing serving people who meet GRH eligibility criteria to receive GRH payments on behalf of eligible participants. Some supportive housing settings may be required to serve people who have experienced long-term homelessness in addition to meeting other GRH eligibility criteria.

In order to receive GRH payments, the housing provider must meet certain statutorily defined criteria and negotiate a contract with the county or tribal jurisdiction in which the housing is located.  This contract determines the maximum number of GRH beds and their payment rates. The maximum current housing rate for GRH payments is $891.

Some service providers may be eligible to receive a Supplementary Service Rate. The current rate for is $482.84. Some providers have been legislatively authorized to receive a higher service rate.

Additional program information is available on the Minnesota Housing and the Department of Human Services’ GRH websites.
