The bill appropriates funds for a grant to The Bridge for Youth, aimed at supporting the development of a new multiuse facility in Hennepin County. Specifically, it allocates $....... from the general fund for fiscal year 2026 to the commissioner of employment and economic development. The grant will be used for land acquisition and the predesign, design, construction, furnishing, and equipping of the facility, which will provide youth program and recreational space, administrative and program office space, and up to 40 units of transitional and affordable housing, as well as emergency shelter space for unaccompanied homeless youth and young families experiencing homelessness.

Additionally, the bill stipulates that this appropriation is a one-time allocation and will remain available until the project is either completed or abandoned, in accordance with Minnesota Statutes, section 16A.642. The effective date of this section is set for the day following its final enactment.
