AI Summary

This bill establishes a recurring funding mechanism for the Minnesota homeless study conducted by the Amherst H. Wilder Foundation. Specifically, the bill transfers $900,000 from the general fund to the housing development fund in fiscal year 2026 and 2027, with the same amount transferred in subsequent years. The funds are then appropriated to the Minnesota Housing Finance Agency commissioner to grant to the Wilder Foundation for conducting the triennial homeless study. The foundation must submit a copy of the study and a summary report to legislative committee chairs by March 1, 2028, and every three years thereafter. The bill allows the commissioner to use up to 1% of the appropriation for administrative costs, and any unspent funds from fiscal year 2026 can carry over to fiscal year 2027. This legislation ensures consistent funding and reporting for a critical research effort that tracks and analyzes homelessness trends in Minnesota.
