This bill modifies the appropriation for assistance to homeless families, those at risk of homelessness, or highly mobile families by amending existing legislation. It introduces new provisions that allocate $1,000,000 for fiscal year 2027 specifically for a grant to the Minneapolis Public Housing Authority to support the stable homes stable schools partnership, which aims to provide housing stability and homelessness prevention services for families with school-aged children in Minneapolis. Additionally, it mandates that the agency award a grant of $2,000,000 for fiscal years 2028 and 2029 to the same authority, overriding any existing guidelines or competitive selection requirements.
Furthermore, the bill establishes a new base funding level of $2,000,000 for this program starting in fiscal year 2028 and beyond. These changes are intended to enhance support for vulnerable families facing housing instability and to ensure that necessary resources are allocated effectively to address homelessness in the community.
