Bill > HF492

This bill appropriates a total of $500,000 ($250,000 in fiscal year 2026 and $250,000 in fiscal year 2027) from the state's general fund to the commissioner of veterans affairs. The money will be provided as a grant to Hometown Hero Outdoors, a nonprofit organization located in Stillwater, Minnesota, with a specific focus on supporting currently serving military personnel and veterans. The grant aims to fund two key areas: outdoor recreational activities and mental health services. The goals of this funding include promoting positive mental health, facilitating interactions with mental health professionals, improving the longevity and quality of life for military personnel and veterans, and providing public education. The bill ensures that Hometown Hero Outdoors can continue its support for individuals who are currently serving or have served in the military, recognizing the unique challenges they may face in transitioning to civilian life and maintaining their mental well-being.
