The bill appropriates $15,000,000 from the general fund for fiscal year 2024 to the commissioner of human services for a grant to Ramsey County, aimed at supporting the Heading Home Ramsey Continuum of Care. This funding is designated for maintaining homeless response infrastructure and service capacity, which includes emergency shelters, day shelters, outreach, diversion, and support services for families, single adults, and unaccompanied youth. Additionally, Ramsey County is permitted to contract with eligible nonprofit organizations and local and Tribal governmental units to deliver these services.

Furthermore, the bill allows Ramsey County to allocate up to ten percent of the appropriation for administrative expenses and mandates that the county is responsible for contract administration and monitoring. The unencumbered balance of the funds will remain available until fully expended, and the base funding for this initiative is set at $15,000,000 for fiscal years 2026 through 2029, with no allocation for fiscal year 2030. The provisions of this bill will take effect the day after final enactment.
