Bill > SF2001

This bill modifies Minnesota's housing support regulations by creating a new provision for supplementary rates for specific housing facilities designed to support people experiencing homelessness. The bill allows state agencies to negotiate an additional monthly rate of up to $975 for housing support providers operating specialized indoor communities with specific characteristics. These communities must provide secure, private dwellings for individuals experiencing unsheltered homelessness who have complex health needs, including substance use disorders, serious mental illness, and physical health conditions. The bill specifically targets two facilities: one with 100 beds in the Twin Cities metropolitan area that has been operating since 2020, and another with 48 beds in central Minnesota that will open after 2025. Both facilities must offer 24-hour-a-day supervision and on-site support services. The supplementary rate is designed to help these specialized housing providers cover the additional costs of supporting residents with high-need, complex health challenges, and the rate may be adjusted for inflation through legislative authorization.
