Community action grants appropriation

This bill appropriates $2.7 million for each of fiscal years 2026 and 2027 from the general fund to the commissioner of children, youth, and families for community action grants. The funds are designated for existing community action programs under Minnesota Statutes sections 142F.30 to 142F.302. It does not create new programs or change eligibility rules, but provides ongoing funding for current grant initiatives. The bill directly affects community action agencies that administer these grants, which typically support poverty prevention and economic development services.
