The bill proposes ongoing funding for community action grants aimed at alleviating poverty in Minnesota. It appropriates a total of $2,700,000 from the general fund for each of the fiscal years 2026 and 2027, specifically designated for the commissioner of children, youth, and families to administer these grants.
This funding is intended to support initiatives outlined in Minnesota Statutes, sections 142F.30 to 142F.302, which focus on community action programs. The bill emphasizes the state's commitment to addressing poverty through financial support for local organizations and initiatives that work towards improving the well-being of families and communities.
