Bill > SF3191

This bill appropriates a total of $1 million ($500,000 in fiscal year 2026 and $500,000 in fiscal year 2027) from the workforce development fund to the Minnesota commissioner of employment and economic development. The funding is specifically designated as a grant to Union Gospel Mission Twin Cities to support and enhance workforce development services for adults facing significant challenges such as homelessness, hunger, and addiction. The grant will enable the organization to provide comprehensive services including job-seeking skill development, educational programs (such as GED preparation, English as a Second Language or ESL classes, job readiness training, and financial literacy education), and critical support services that help remove employment barriers. These support services include providing clothing, transportation assistance, and child care. The bill specifies that this is a one-time appropriation, meaning the funding is not intended to be recurring in future budget cycles.
