Bill > SF2311

This bill appropriates a specific amount of money from the state's general fund to the commissioner of human services for grants aimed at improving transitional housing facilities in Minnesota. Transitional housing is temporary housing designed to help individuals or families experiencing homelessness transition to permanent housing. The bill specifies that grant recipients can use the funds for four primary purposes: (1) converting existing facilities into transitional housing sites, (2) renovating existing transitional housing sites, (3) constructing new transitional housing sites, and (4) enhancing the safety, sanitation, accessibility, and overall habitability of current transitional housing facilities. The funding is designated as a one-time appropriation for fiscal year 2026, and will be distributed according to the eligibility requirements outlined in Minnesota Statutes, section 256K.48. The primary goal of this bill appears to be improving housing options and conditions for vulnerable populations by providing financial support for transitional housing infrastructure.
