Committee holds over technical fix aligning 2023 grant for Accessible Space, Inc.
Summary
Senate File 5003 would realign a 2023 appropriation of $1.15 million so funding matches affiliate ownership and Minnesota Management and Budget rules; sponsors said the change protects the original investment and lets projects proceed in compliance with state requirements.
Senator Pappas told the committee that Senate File 5003 is a technical correction to a 2023 appropriation that provided $1.15 million for Accessible Space, Inc., a Saint Paul–based nonprofit that develops and manages wheelchair-accessible housing.
The sponsor said the change does not add new funding but aligns the appropriation with Minnesota Management and Budget requirements and the appropriate ownership structures so the original project can proceed without losing the funds. An affiliate or partner representing Accessible Space gave brief testimony confirming the alignment. Committee members held the file over for possible inclusion.
