Bill > SF3330

This bill appropriates $500,000 in fiscal year 2026 from the state's general fund to the Minnesota Commissioner of Human Services for a pilot project run by the Organization for Liberians in Minnesota. The pilot project aims to support elderly African immigrants' health and wellness by providing culturally relevant healthcare education and support. Specifically, the project will offer preventive care education from medical practitioners with similar cultural backgrounds, make referrals to culturally competent medical programs, and address both physical and mental health needs of the target community. The organization is required to submit an evaluation of the pilot project to the commissioner within six months of its conclusion. This appropriation is designated as a one-time funding allocation, indicating it is not intended to be a recurring annual expense.
