Displaced homemaker programs funding provided, and money appropriated.

HF 1960 appropriates $350,000 for fiscal year 2026 and $350,000 for fiscal year 2027 from the workforce development fund to support displaced homemaker programs in Minnesota. The funds will be distributed by the commissioner of employment and economic development to existing nonprofit and state-run displaced homemaker programs through the adult career pathways program. This is a one-time funding measure specifically for programs assisting individuals (typically women) who have been displaced from the workforce due to life changes like caregiving or divorce. The bill directly affects these programs and their participants, providing targeted financial support without altering eligibility or program structure.
