Bill > HF2183

This bill appropriates a total of $4 million ($2 million in fiscal year 2026 and $2 million in fiscal year 2027) from the state's general fund to the Minnesota Department of Employment and Economic Development. The funding is specifically designated as a grant to Comunidades Latinas Unidas En Servicio (CLUES), a nonprofit organization focused on supporting the Latino community. The grant aims to address employment, economic, and technology access disparities for low-income individuals who are unemployed or underemployed. The funds will support programs that provide short-term job certifications, skills training in high-demand career fields, workforce readiness education, financial capability coaching, and employment support services. An important requirement of the bill is that at least 50% of the funding must be used for programming in greater Minnesota (areas outside of the Twin Cities metropolitan area). These appropriations are considered "onetime" funding, meaning they are not expected to be recurring annual allocations.
