Emergency shelter facility grant program establishment

This bill establishes a new grant program in Minnesota to fund capital improvements for emergency shelters that help people experiencing homelessness. The program allows eligible entities, such as cities, counties, tribal governments, and non-profit organizations, to apply for up to $1 million per project to renovate existing facilities, add new beds, or construct new shelters. Funding comes from two state accounts, with a requirement that at least 40% of the money be awarded to projects in rural "greater Minnesota" areas. To receive a grant, applicants must submit a competitive proposal, and the projects must meet all state and local building codes. Additionally, the bill prioritizes new construction projects where the applicant contributes at least 10% of the total funding.
