Duluth; community engagement center funding provided, bonds issued, and money appropriated.

HF 3125 appropriates $8,856,000 from state bond proceeds to fund a community engagement center in Duluth specifically for people experiencing homelessness. The bill authorizes the sale of state bonds to cover this cost and directs funds toward predesign, construction, and equipment for facilities including a commercial kitchen, warming center, health services, classrooms, and hygiene spaces. The Housing and Redevelopment Authority of Duluth will receive the grant to develop and operate the center, with potential lease or management agreements for program operations. This funding is effective upon final enactment.
