The bill appropriates $900,000 from the general fund for fiscal year 2025 to the Minnesota Housing Finance Agency, specifically to contract with the Amherst H. Wilder Foundation for the Minnesota homeless study. This funding is designated for activities directly related to the triennial study, with a base appropriation of $900,000 set for fiscal year 2026.
Additionally, the bill mandates that the Amherst H. Wilder Foundation submit a summary of the study's findings to the chairs and ranking minority members of the legislative committees overseeing housing and homelessness. This ensures that key legislative stakeholders are informed of the study's outcomes and can use the information to guide future policy decisions related to homelessness in Minnesota.
