The bill modifies the existing appropriation for assistance to homeless families, those at risk of homelessness, or highly mobile families as outlined in Laws 2025, chapter 32, article 1, section 2, subdivision 8. It introduces new provisions that establish a program under the Minnesota Statutes to provide targeted assistance to these vulnerable groups. Specifically, it allocates $1,000,000 for fiscal year 2027 as a grant to the Minneapolis Public Housing Authority to support the stable homes stable schools partnership, which aims to deliver housing stability and homelessness prevention services for families with school-aged children in Minneapolis.
Additionally, the bill mandates that the agency award a grant of $2,000,000 to the Minneapolis Public Housing Authority for the same partnership in fiscal years 2028 and 2029, overriding any existing guidelines or competitive selection requirements. Furthermore, it sets the base funding for this program at $2,000,000 for fiscal year 2028 and beyond, ensuring ongoing support for these initiatives.
