Section 1.  There is appropriated from the General Fund to Project Homestead, Inc., a nonprofit corporation, the sum of three hundred thousand dollars ($300,000) for the 1999-2000 fiscal year. These funds shall be used for employment training activities and for a portion of administrative costs and equipment to provide the training.
