Commissioner of children, youth, and families funding provided to create and implement technology portals to connect individuals with support systems; and money appropriated.

HF 1824 appropriates state funds to create technology portals on the Minnesota Department of Children, Youth, and Families website. These portals will connect vulnerable children and families with community support systems, including churches, nonprofits, and civic organizations. The bill allocates specific funding for fiscal years 2026 and 2027 as a one-time appropriation from the general fund. This policy change directly enables the department to establish a centralized digital resource for accessing local support services.
