Bill > HF3161

This bill appropriates $500,000 in fiscal year 2026 from the general fund to the Minnesota Commissioner of Human Services for a health awareness hub pilot project run by the Organization for Liberians in Minnesota. The pilot project aims to support elderly African immigrants by providing culturally relevant healthcare education and wellness resources. Specifically, the project will offer support through medical practitioners with similar cultural backgrounds, provide preventive care education, and make referrals to culturally competent medical programs and services. 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, highlighting its temporary and specific nature in addressing healthcare disparities for a specific immigrant community.
