The bill proposes an appropriation of funds to support emergency family shelter operations and programming through a grant to Interfaith Action. Specifically, it allocates $....... from the general fund for the fiscal year 2026 to the commissioner of human services. The funds are designated for various purposes, including shelter operations, case management, staffing, on-site support services, and programming aimed at promoting stability and self-sufficiency for families experiencing homelessness.
Additionally, the bill stipulates that the appropriated funds will remain available for use until June 30, 2027, ensuring that Interfaith Action has the necessary resources to effectively support families in need over an extended period. This initiative reflects a commitment to addressing homelessness and providing essential services to vulnerable populations in Minnesota.
