This 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. The program aims to assist homeless, isolated, and low-income older adults in transitioning to stable housing.
The new legal language introduced in this bill establishes the funding and purpose of the grant, emphasizing the importance of providing support to vulnerable older adults in the community. This initiative reflects a commitment to addressing homelessness among the elderly population in Minnesota.
