Mental health services and outdoor activities for currently serving military personnel and veterans funding provided, and money appropriated.

HF 3008 appropriates $250,000 from Minnesota's arts and cultural heritage fund for fiscal year 2026 and another $250,000 for fiscal year 2027. The funds will be provided as a grant to Hometown Hero Outdoors, a Stillwater-based nonprofit, to support outdoor recreational activities and mental health services. These services are directly intended for currently serving military personnel and veterans in Minnesota. The bill aims to improve mental health outcomes and quality of life through structured outdoor engagement and access to mental health professionals.
