The following programs and grants were DENIED continued funding based on the Special Master’s recommendations:

  • Migrant Child Care and Migrant Day Care Grants (because there is no federal funding commingled with these grants)
  • Parent Support Outreach Grant and Title IV-E Parent Support Outreach F08, C200 (because they are interpreted to be critical core functions essential to the life, health, and safety of Minnesota citizens and there was no public testimony on these grants)
  • Refugee Social Services Grant (because need for continued employment support for needy populations is not deemed a critical core function)
