Last year. the State of Minnesota used ESG money to fund six different programs for battered women. improving their shelters and providing counseling. It used this money for four different programs for runaway youth. ESG funded hotel vouchers for homeless migrant workers in rural parts of the State. where there are no homeless shelters. This money was used to improve the energy efficiency of homeless shelters. And I am very proud to note that ESG funds were instrumental in helping to set up the American Indian Housing Corporation. which is the first program in the Nation to specifically address the problems of homeless urban Indians.
