Lutheran Social Services CORE program funding provided, reports required, and money appropriated.

HF 2773 appropriates $500,000 for fiscal year 2026 and $500,000 for fiscal year 2027 from the general fund to fund Lutheran Social Services' CORE program. The funding supports home-delivered meals for Minnesota veterans outside Hennepin and Ramsey Counties, along with technical assistance and outreach services for participating programs. The bill requires annual reports by September 1 detailing how funds were used and the number of veterans served. This one-time appropriation ensures direct support for veterans' meal access and program coordination, with transparency through mandatory reporting.
