This bill appropriates $1,000,000 from the general fund for fiscal year 2026 to the commissioner of employment and economic development. The funds are designated for a grant to New Pathways, Inc. to design, construct, furnish, and equip a regional shelter facility in the city of Cambridge. This facility aims to provide comprehensive support services for families with children who are experiencing homelessness in Cambridge and the surrounding area. The appropriation 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 section will take effect the day following its final enactment. This ensures that the funding and project can commence promptly to address the urgent needs of families facing homelessness in the region.
