AI Summary
This bill establishes a new Family Supportive Housing Grant Program administered by the Minnesota Commissioner of Human Services to provide competitive grants to nonprofit organizations and Tribal governments operating permanent supportive housing for families. The program defines a "family" as a household with at least one child and one parent or guardian, and "family permanent supportive housing" as long-term, affordable housing with specialized support services for families facing multiple barriers such as homelessness, mental illness, substance use disorders, or involvement with child protection services. Grant recipients will receive $15,000 per family served, with the commissioner aiming to distribute grants so that 60% of families are served in the seven-county metropolitan area, 40% are served outside this area, and 10% are members of Minnesota's Tribal Nations. The grants will fund specialized, trauma-informed, and culturally appropriate support services including child-centric educational programs, stabilization services like career planning, counseling, medical referrals, parenting skills training, and 24/7 on-site staffing. Grantees must report on the number of families served by June 30, 2026, and the bill includes a one-time appropriation for the program available through June 30, 2027.
