Bill > HF2141

This bill appropriates $400,000 from the Minnesota state general fund in fiscal year 2026 to the commissioner of employment and economic development, specifically for a grant to the Organization of Liberians in Minnesota (OLM), a 501(c)(3) nonprofit organization. The grant is designated to support the renovation, construction, furnishing, and equipping of OLM's existing community center located in Brooklyn Park. The purpose of the project is to enable OLM to provide culturally appropriate programs and services that address the diverse needs of community members in the northwest suburbs of Minneapolis. The bill specifies that this is a one-time appropriation and the funds will remain available until the project is either completed or abandoned, in accordance with Minnesota Statutes, section 16A.642. This type of legislative appropriation is typically used to support community-based organizations that provide important social services to specific cultural or demographic groups.
