Survivor employment readiness pilot program funding provided, and money appropriated.

HF 2869 appropriates $1 million from the general fund for fiscal year 2026 to create a survivor employment readiness pilot program. The funding supports Avivo, a nonprofit, in providing direct services to survivors of sex trafficking and domestic abuse as they seek employment. Key provisions include covering costs for childcare, transportation, housing, legal aid, interview clothing, technology, and Internet access, while also requiring public outreach and corporate training about survivors' workforce reentry challenges. This is a one-time appropriation, specifically targeting services statewide with continued focus in the St. Cloud area.
