The bill appropriates $5,000,000 from the general fund to the commissioner of employment and economic development for the establishment of a Regional Youth Housing, Workforce, and Community Services Hub. This funding is designated for a grant to Youthprise, which will be used to predesign, design, construct, renovate, furnish, and equip a property located at 340 Cedar Street in St. Paul. The hub aims to provide essential services such as housing cooperative space, nonprofit organization programming and administration, workforce development, community wellness services, and resources for local communities.
Additionally, the bill includes a provision stating that the section will take effect the day following its final enactment. This initiative is intended to enhance support for youth and community services across the state, fostering a collaborative environment for various programs and resources.
