The bill proposes an appropriation of funds for transitional housing renovation and construction in Minnesota. Specifically, it allocates a specified amount from the general fund for the fiscal year 2026 to the commissioner of human services. The funds are intended for grants to eligible recipients, as outlined in Minnesota Statutes, section 256K.48.
Eligible recipients are required to utilize the grant funds for various purposes, including renovating existing facilities that are not currently functioning as transitional housing into such sites, upgrading existing transitional housing, constructing new transitional housing, and enhancing the safety, sanitation, accessibility, and habitability of current transitional housing facilities. This funding is designated as a one-time appropriation.
