Purpose of the Bill

This legislative proposal aims to provide financial assistance to support and stabilize housing for older adults who are homeless or at risk of homelessness.

Main Provisions

• The bill proposes an allocation of funds specifically intended for the operations of the Homeless Elders Program run by Catholic Charities of St. Paul and Minneapolis.
• It specifies that a total of $3,000,000 will be appropriated from the general fund, distributed as $1,500,000 for the fiscal year 2026 and another $1,500,000 for the fiscal year 2027.

Significant Changes to Existing Law

• The bill does not amend existing laws but provides new funding support for the specified program. This direct financial support will enhance efforts to transition older adults into stable housing, potentially reducing homelessness among this vulnerable population segment.
