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 for fiscal year 2026 and another $1,500,000 for fiscal year 2027 from the general fund to the commissioner of human services.
The purpose of this funding is to assist homeless, isolated, and low-income older adults in transitioning to stable housing, thereby addressing a critical need within the community. This initiative aims to enhance the well-being of vulnerable populations by providing them with the necessary resources and support to secure stable living conditions.
