This bill amends existing legislation to increase funding for various human services programs in Minnesota, particularly focusing on the Supplemental Nutrition Assistance Program (SNAP) outreach. Specifically, it allocates $1,000,000 for the SNAP outreach program in both fiscal years 2024 and 2025, which marks an increase from the previous base funding of $500,000. The bill also outlines funding for several other initiatives, including $400,000 for fraud prevention grants to specific Native American tribes, $11,432,000 for homelessness services in Hennepin County, and $3,000,000 for an American Indian food sovereignty funding program.
Additionally, the bill provides substantial funding for emergency services, transitional housing, and food relief programs, with various appropriations designated for specific organizations and initiatives aimed at addressing homelessness and food insecurity. The overall general fund base is set at $83,179,000 for fiscal year 2026 and $88,179,000 for fiscal year 2027, reflecting a commitment to enhancing support for vulnerable populations in Minnesota.
