The bill proposes the establishment of the "Home Heroes Act," which aims to address housing challenges in Minnesota through educational film series. It appropriates a specified amount of money from the arts and cultural heritage fund for fiscal year 2025 to support this initiative. The funding will be allocated to the commissioner of administration, who will grant it to the Home Heroes Act. This program will collaborate with various stakeholders, including state and local entities, educational institutions, nonprofits, and faith-based organizations, to create content that informs and engages residents on housing issues and solutions.
The primary focus of the film series will be to provide skill-based knowledge and training that empowers Minnesotans to age in place, thrive, prevent homelessness, and enhance community strength. The bill emphasizes the importance of community engagement and education in addressing housing challenges, thereby fostering a more informed and resilient population.
