The bill appropriates $856,000 from the general fund for fiscal year 2026 to support the construction, furnishing, and equipping of a youth shelter facility in St. Cloud, specifically at 1101 Washington Memorial Drive. The funds will be granted to 180 Degrees, an organization focused on improving program delivery at the facility, which will also include a teen employment center and a donation center. This appropriation is designated as a one-time funding source and will remain available until the project is either completed or abandoned, in accordance with Minnesota Statutes, section 16A.642.
Additionally, the bill includes a provision stating that the effective date of this section will be the day following its final enactment. This ensures that the funding and project can commence promptly after the legislative process is completed.
