Bill > SF854

This bill appropriates a specific amount of money from Minnesota's general fund in fiscal year 2026 to the commissioner of employment and economic development, specifically for a grant to The Bridge for Youth. The grant is intended to support the acquisition of land and the predesign, design, construction, furnishing, and equipping of a new multiuse facility in Hennepin County. The proposed facility will include several key components: youth program and recreational spaces, administrative and program office spaces, and up to 40 new units of transitional and affordable housing along with emergency shelter space for unaccompanied homeless youth and young families experiencing homelessness. The appropriation is considered a one-time funding allocation and will remain available until the project is either completed or abandoned, in accordance with Minnesota Statutes. The bill specifies that the section becomes effective the day after it receives final enactment, allowing The Bridge for Youth to proceed with their planned facility development to support vulnerable youth populations.
