# Housing Stabilization Services program *Minnesota program that the Department of Human Services announced it would terminate* The Housing Stabilization Services program is a [[Minnesota]] program administered through the Minnesota Department of Human Services (DHS). DHS published a news release titled *Department moves to terminate Housing Stabilization Services program*.[^1] The project's at-issue record states that the State ended the program on October 31, 2025. The same record describes it as a program "projected at a fraction of its cost" that had "grown past $100 million a year."[^2] The record lists Georgetown's Center for Children and Families and the House Oversight Committee as its sources for those figures, but neither source is among the primary documents located for this article. The figures are therefore given here as the at-issue record's statements.[^2] ## What DHS described its action as a move to terminate the program, in a release issued under that title.[^1] The located record contains no statute text, appropriation, rule, eligibility standard or audit for the program. What the record establishes about the program is limited to the DHS release and the at-issue entry.[^1][^2] ## When The at-issue record dates the termination to October 31, 2025.[^2] No date for the DHS release appears in the located record. The record does not establish whether October 31, 2025 is the date of the DHS announcement, the effective date of the termination, or another date.[^1][^2] ## How much According to the at-issue record, annual spending on the program grew past $100 million, above its original projection.[^2] No DHS, Legislative Auditor or appropriation document in the located record states the program's cost or its projection, and this article does not verify either figure.[^1][^2] ## In the at-issue record The project's at-issue record lists the termination as entry AI-Ramsey-061, in its tier of "live federal instruments." The entry pairs the termination with a March 2025 presidential action, *Protecting America's Bank Account Against Fraud, Waste, and Abuse*.[^2][^3] The entry gives its reason for the pairing as the view that termination is "the state's own verdict on its control environment."[^2] That reading is the project's framing of the pair, not a finding of DHS or of the White House. The located record does not show that the presidential action names the program. It also does not establish why DHS moved to terminate the program.[^1][^3] ## Notes [^1]: Minnesota Department of Human Services, *Department moves to terminate Housing Stabilization Services program* (news release; date not in the located record) — DHS announced it was moving to terminate the program. https://mn.gov/dhs/media/news/?id=1053-700501 [^2]: Minnesota wiki at-issue record AI-Ramsey-061, from *Ramsey Claims Exposure Matrix* C-R4 (2026-09-02) — the project's statement of the October 31, 2025 termination date, the "$100 million a year" figure, and the pairing rationale.
