Bill > SF3506

This bill appropriates a total of $1 million ($500,000 in fiscal year 2026 and $500,000 in fiscal year 2027) from the state's general fund to the Minnesota commissioner of human services. The purpose of these funds is to establish a grant program specifically designed to support mental health initiatives within the African immigrant community. The grants will require recipients to directly collaborate with families in this community to address mental health challenges. Notably, this is a onetime appropriation, meaning the funding is not intended to be recurring and is a specific, time-limited investment in addressing mental health disparities among African immigrant families in Minnesota.
