Hmong American Partnership grant funding provided, and money appropriated.

This bill appropriates $500,000 from the workforce development fund for fiscal year 2026, and $500,000 from that fund plus $500,000 from the general fund for fiscal year 2027 - totaling $1.5 million in one-time funding - to the Hmong American Partnership. The funds are designated for job training, employment services, business development, technology support, financial services, and empowerment programs. The bill directly affects the Hmong American Partnership organization in Minnesota, which will use the grant to support economic opportunities for Hmong American communities.
