Bill > HF1907

This bill provides a $6 million total appropriation to Youthprise, a Minnesota organization, specifically allocating $3 million in fiscal year 2026 and another $3 million in fiscal year 2027. The funding will come from the workforce development fund and will be administered by the commissioner of employment and economic development. The grant is specifically designated to support economic development services aimed at enhancing long-term economic self-sufficiency for communities with concentrated populations from the African diaspora. A key requirement of the bill is that at least 50 percent of the grant money must be used for subgrants to organizations serving communities located outside the seven-county metropolitan area (which typically includes Minneapolis-Saint Paul and surrounding counties). The bill specifies this as a one-time appropriation, meaning the funding is not expected to be recurring in future budget cycles.
