This bill establishes a Family Supportive Housing Grant Program under the Minnesota Department of Human Services, aimed at providing competitive grants to nonprofit organizations and Tribal governments that operate supportive housing for families. The program is designed to assist families with children who face multiple barriers to obtaining and maintaining housing, including homelessness, mental illness, and other disabilities. The bill defines key terms such as "family," "family permanent supportive housing," and "resident," and outlines the eligibility criteria for applicants, which must include an estimate of the number of families they plan to serve.

Additionally, the bill appropriates funds from the general fund for the Family Supportive Housing Grant Program, specifying that $....... will be allocated for fiscal year 2026, with the funds available until June 30, 2027. Grantees will receive $15,000 per family served and are required to report on their services by June 30, 2026. The bill emphasizes the importance of providing specialized, trauma-informed, and culturally appropriate support services to help families maintain stable housing and create a safe environment for children.
