This bill proposes an appropriation of funds to support workforce development initiatives through a grant to Interfaith Action. Specifically, it allocates an amount from the general fund for the fiscal year 2026 to the commissioner of employment and economic development. The grant aims to assist individuals experiencing housing instability by providing workforce training, job placement assistance, and fostering connections with employers.

The funds from the grant can be utilized for various purposes, including supporting licensure and certification in high-demand health care fields, expanding training for the child care workforce, and developing partnerships with employers to create direct hiring pathways. This initiative is designed to enhance economic development by addressing workforce challenges and improving job opportunities for vulnerable populations.
