Grant authorization for truancy crisis response

This bill authorizes a one-time $1.5 million grant for 2026 and another $1.5 million for 2027 to Hennepin County Community Action Partners to address truancy. It directly affects children aged 8-18 in Hennepin County, with specific focus on African American youth involved in both truancy and the child protection system. The grant funds must create culturally welcoming spaces and support services including mentoring, family reconnection, job preparation, and trauma-informed life skills training. The funds are restricted to these specific interventions and cannot be carried over beyond the designated fiscal years.
