$250,000 in fiscal year 2027 is appropriated from the general fund to the commissioner
of public safety for the Office of Justice Programs for a grant to the International Institute
of Minnesota to provide support and management services to 25 victims of trafficking. This
includes helping survivors become stable, economically self-sufficient, and safe in local
communities. The International Institute of Minnesota must partner with local law
enforcement, shelters, health care providers, faith communities, and schools to identify
victims of sex and labor trafficking in the seven-county metropolitan area and provide
essential services including housing, medical care, food, as well as other educational and
employment services. The International Institute of Minnesota must collect data and outcomes
on all clients to measure the impact and accountability of money received. This is a onetime
appropriation.
