• Funding amount: The amendment specifies a total amount of 5,000,000 dollars for these purposes.

Significant Changes to Existing Law

• Expanded use of funds: Beyond the initial shelter project, the statute now allows remaining money to be used for property acquisition and additional shelter facility work, all within Minneapolis.
