Bill > SF1139

This bill creates a special supplemental housing support rate for a specific long-term residential facility located in Blue Earth County, Minnesota. The bill allows the county agency to negotiate an additional monthly rate of up to $750 for a housing support provider that operates a 20-bed facility serving chemically dependent women, providing 24-hour supervision and support services. This supplemental rate would be effective beginning July 1, 2026, and is an exception to the standard rate-setting provisions in the existing statute. The purpose appears to be providing extra financial support for a specialized residential treatment facility that serves a vulnerable population, helping to ensure the facility can continue to provide comprehensive care for chemically dependent women. The additional funding may help cover increased operational costs or specific service needs of this unique residential facility.
