This bill appropriates $8,000,000 for the fiscal year 2025 to the commissioner of employment and economic development for a grant to Face to Face, an organization focused on providing affordable housing. The funds will be used to predesign, design, engineer, construct, furnish, and equip a facility that will offer 20 units of affordable housing with on-site support services for young people aged 18 to 24. The location for this project is 1170 Arcade Street in St. Paul, and the appropriation is a one-time allocation that will remain available until the project is either completed or abandoned, in accordance with Minnesota Statutes, section 16A.642.
Additionally, the bill includes a provision stating that the section will take effect the day following its final enactment. This ensures that the funding and project can commence promptly after the legislative process is completed.
