The bill proposes an appropriation of $2,000,000 for each of the fiscal years 2026 and 2027 from the general fund to the commissioner of employment and economic development. This funding is designated for a grant to the Community Action Partnership of Hennepin County, aimed at implementing a community-based approach to reduce violence through employment, empowerment, and social equity initiatives.

Specifically, the bill allocates $500,000 in each fiscal year for grants to 21 Days of Peace to support social equity building and community engagement activities. Additionally, it designates another $500,000 in each fiscal year for grants to A Mother's Love, which will focus on community outreach, empowerment training, and employment services for middle school-aged youth to adults. This funding will also cover wraparound services to help engage participants and minimize barriers to entry for those interested in these programs.
