Hennepin County Human Services Committee approves contracts and Minneapolis grant for housing-stability staff
Summary
The Hennepin County Human Services Committee voted to approve a human services resolution covering contracts and amendments and accepted a joint powers agreement with the City of Minneapolis providing up to $75,000 for housing-stability staff for 2026–2028. The approvals were made by voice vote.
Hennepin County Human Services Committee Chair Heather Edelson presided over a short session on Tuesday, May 12, that approved a human services and public health resolution authorizing contracts and contract amendments and accepted a joint powers agreement with the City of Minneapolis to help fund housing-stability staff.
The committee reviewed item 2A, described in the meeting as "a human services and public health resolution, including contracts and amendments to contracts with providers" and referenced additional information in "board report 26 0 6" as read into the record. Item 2B was read as a joint powers agreement with the City of Minneapolis accepting a grant from the city's general fund to provide supplementary funding for housing-stability staff for the period 01/01/2026 through 12/31/2028 in an amount not to exceed $75,000.
There were no substantive questions from committee members. Chair Heather Edelson called for a voice vote on items 2A and 2B; members responded "aye" and the chair stated the motion carried. The meeting record does not include a roll-call tally.
The approvals allow county staff to proceed with the contracts and the joint powers agreement as described in the board report and the grant language read into the record. Additional details and contract terms were noted as available in the referenced board report. The committee then concluded the human services portion of its agenda.
