Bill > SF1199

This bill appropriates state funding to Union Gospel Mission Twin Cities, a nonprofit organization, to support the development of new shelter and housing facilities in St. Paul, Minnesota. Specifically, the bill allocates an unspecified amount of money from the state's general fund in fiscal year 2026 to the commissioner of employment and economic development. The funding will be used to design and construct a new women and children's family shelter and transitional housing located at 376 Western Avenue, as well as to make capital improvements to the organization's existing men's campus at 435 University Avenue East. The appropriation is designated as a one-time funding allocation and will remain available until the project is either completed or abandoned, in accordance with state financial regulations. This grant aims to support Union Gospel Mission Twin Cities' efforts to provide shelter and housing services to vulnerable populations in the St. Paul area.
