# Housing Choice Vouchers *Federally funded housing program; in this record, a revenue line of the Dakota County Community Development Agency.* **Housing Choice Vouchers** are a federally funded housing program. In the Minnesota record the program appears through one entity, the [[Dakota County Community Development Agency]] (CDA). The CDA's audited financial report for the fiscal year ended June 30, 2025 identifies Housing Choice Vouchers as the largest part of the agency's federal revenue.[^1] As of June 30, 2025, the CDA held $546.3 million in assets and owned or managed 2,599 housing units. That year federal funds supplied $45.3 million, about 55 percent of the agency's operating revenue. Housing Choice Vouchers made up $34.3 million of the federal total, or 76 percent of federal funds.[^1] On those figures, federal money was a majority of the county housing authority's operating revenue for the year.[^1] The project's at-issue record pairs these figures with a March 2025 presidential action on fraud, waste and abuse in federal spending.[^2] The record documents the amounts as of a single fiscal-year end. It does not establish a trend over time. It also does not establish any finding about how the vouchers were administered.[^1] ## How much - Dakota County CDA assets: $546.3 million, as of June 30, 2025.[^1] - Housing units owned or managed by the CDA: 2,599, as of June 30, 2025.[^1] - Federal funding: $45.3 million, about 55 percent of all operating revenue, for the fiscal year ended June 30, 2025.[^1] - Housing Choice Vouchers: $34.3 million, or 76 percent of federal funds, for the same fiscal year.[^1] ## In the at-issue record The figures above form one at-issue pair (AI-Dakota-080). The pair sits in the section *VI. THE MONEY* of the project's Dakota claims matrix and is dated June 30, 2025. It rests on a single source, an audited financial report published on dakotacda.org.[^1] The pair's anchor is the White House presidential action *Protecting America's Bank Account Against Fraud, Waste, and Abuse* (March 2025). The project gives the combination of 55 percent federal funding with local governance as its reason for the pairing.[^2] The record does not establish any connection between that presidential action and the CDA beyond this pairing.[^2] ## Notes [^1]: Dakota County Community Development Agency, *Annual Comprehensive Finance Report and Single Audit Report for the Fiscal Year Ended June 30, 2025* (fiscal year ended June 30, 2025) — assets, housing units, federal share of operating revenue, and Housing Choice Voucher amount. https://www.dakotacda.org/wp-content/uploads/2023/08/Dakota-County-CDA-Annual-Comprehensive-Finance-Report-And-Single-Audit-Report-For-The-Fiscal-Year-Ended-June-30-2025.pdf [^2]: The White House, *Protecting America's Bank Account Against Fraud, Waste, and Abuse* (March 2025) — the presidential action used as the at-issue anchor. https://www.whitehouse.gov/presidential-actions/2025/03/protecting-americas-bank-account-against-fraud-waste-and-abuse/
