Bill > SF3251

This bill appropriates $2,000,000 in fiscal year 2026 from the general fund to the Minnesota commissioner of human services, specifically for a grant to Rebound, Inc., a nonprofit organization that serves justice-involved youth. The funding is designated for establishing the Sankofa Empowerment Center, with specific purposes including property acquisition, facility construction, staffing, program development, and operational costs. The center's primary goal is to provide culturally responsive services to Black youth who have experienced involvement with the juvenile justice system or child welfare. The appropriation is a one-time funding allocation, and notably, the commissioner will retain $0 for administrative costs. Rebound, Inc. is required to submit a comprehensive report by January 15, 2027, detailing how the funds were used, the number of youth served, program outcomes, developed partnerships, and recommendations for future funding and potential expansion of the center.
