Bill > HF2773

This bill provides a $500,000 annual appropriation from the general fund to the commissioner of veterans affairs for a grant to the Lutheran Social Services (LSS) CORE program over fiscal years 2026 and 2027. The funding is specifically designated to support home-delivered meals for veterans in Minnesota, excluding Hennepin and Ramsey Counties, and to provide technical assistance, enrollment support, outreach, and volunteer recruitment services. The appropriation is considered a one-time funding allocation, with any unspent money remaining available in the second year. Additionally, the bill requires LSS CORE program to submit an annual report by September 1 to the commissioner of veterans affairs and legislative committee chairs, detailing how the grant money was used and the number of veterans and service members served by the program. This targeted funding aims to support veterans' nutrition and access to support services in Minnesota's non-metropolitan counties.
