Bill > HF2227

This bill appropriates $750,000 total ($375,000 in each of fiscal years 2026 and 2027) from the general fund to the Minnesota Commissioner of Public Safety's Office of Justice Programs. The funding will be distributed as three separate $125,000 grants to 180 Degrees, an organization that provides shelter services in the Rochester, St. Cloud, and central Minnesota regions west of the Twin Cities. The specific purpose of these grants is to address racial disparities among youth using shelter services. The funded programs will focus on comprehensive support services including community outreach, mobile case management, family reunification, aftercare, and follow-up support, with a particular emphasis on serving at-risk youth in large, rural geographic areas. By targeting these specific regions and their unique challenges, the bill aims to improve shelter and support services for racially diverse youth who may face barriers to accessing traditional shelter and support resources.
