  • Targeted Support: The funds are intended to support existing nonprofit and state programs under the Minnesota Family Resiliency Partnership, specifically targeting displaced homemaker programs to assist them in their career development and economic stability.

Significant Changes to Existing Law

  • Financial Support: This bill provides new, one-time financial support to the Minnesota Family Resiliency Partnership to bolster initiatives for displaced homemakers, which may enhance the existing support mechanisms under Minnesota Statutes section 116L.96.
