Bill > SF1313

This bill appropriates a total of $500,000 ($250,000 in fiscal year 2026 and $250,000 in fiscal year 2027) from the general fund to the Minnesota commissioner of children, youth, and families, specifically designated as a grant to the Greater Minneapolis Council of Churches for drop-in support services. The grant funding is intended to support four key areas of assistance for vulnerable populations: (1) providing hot, prepared meals and takeaway food bags that are nutritious, healthy, and culturally appropriate; (2) distributing essential hygiene supplies including personal care items, towels, clean clothing, and menstrual products; (3) offering cold weather protection items such as hats, gloves, hand warmers, and blankets; and (4) helping individuals access resources related to housing, employment, and social services. This targeted appropriation aims to support community-based efforts to address immediate needs of individuals experiencing poverty or housing insecurity in the Minneapolis area.
