SF1064

The legislative bill S.F. No. 1064 proposes allocating $8,856,000 from the general fund to the Union Gospel Mission Inc., a nonprofit organization, in the fiscal year 2026. This funding is intended to facilitate the pre-design, design, construction, furnishing, and equipment needs of a new community engagement center in Duluth, Minnesota. The center is primarily aimed at serving individuals experiencing homelessness. It will feature various facilities such as a commercial kitchen, a warming center, indoor and outdoor spaces for guests, health service facilities, classrooms, offices, laundry, and hygiene facilities. This financial support is a one-time grant and will be available until the project is either completed or abandoned, in adherence with specific Minnesota statutes.
