The bill appropriates funds to support the homeless elders program operated by Catholic Charities of St. Paul and Minneapolis. Specifically, it allocates $1,500,000 from the general fund for each of the fiscal years 2026 and 2027. This funding is intended to assist homeless, isolated, and low-income older adults in transitioning to stable housing.

The new legal language introduced in the bill emphasizes the importance of providing resources to help vulnerable older adults secure stable living conditions. By designating these funds specifically for the homeless elders program, the bill aims to address the needs of a demographic that often faces significant challenges in accessing housing and support services.
