The bill proposes an appropriation of $5,000,000 from the general fund for the fiscal year 2027 to support Our Saviour's Community Services, a nonprofit organization based in Minneapolis. The funds are designated for the design, construction, furnishing, and equipping of an expansion and renovation of their facilities. This project includes the development of a new multiuse building that will provide 40 permanent supportive housing units, an English Learning Center for immigrant adult learners, staff offices, and a geothermal system.
This appropriation is a one-time allocation and will remain available until the project is either completed or abandoned, in accordance with Minnesota Statutes, section 16A.642. The bill aims to enhance community services and support for vulnerable populations in the Minneapolis area through this significant investment in infrastructure and resources.
