Bill > SF2818

This bill modifies two key aspects of housing stabilization services in Minnesota: provider qualifications and supplemental service rates. First, the bill requires housing stabilization service providers to meet specific qualifications, including enrolling as a medical assistance provider, complying with background study requirements, directly providing services without subcontractors, and completing annual vulnerable adult training. Additionally, the bill mandates that the commissioner must process provider applications within two weeks. Second, the bill addresses supplemental service rates for housing support, initially proposing a gradual reduction of rates by half over two years, but then suspending this reduction for the period from July 1, 2025, through June 30, 2026. The bill also clarifies that services must not be duplicative for individuals receiving both supplemental services and housing stabilization services. These changes aim to streamline the application process for housing stabilization service providers and adjust funding rates in a measured manner.
