Grants established for residential mental health treatment programs that serve individuals with physical disabilities, report required, and money appropriated.
This bill creates a grant program to support residential mental health treatment programs for people with physical disabilities in Minnesota. The commissioner of human services will award funds to qualified organizations that can build, renovate, or operate facilities, hire staff, and provide specialized training for treating mental health conditions alongside physical disabilities. Grant recipients must use the money for construction, facility maintenance, administrative costs, and staff training, and the commissioner must submit a detailed report by December 2027 on how the grants were distributed and used. A one-time appropriation from the general fund is authorized to finance these grants, though the specific dollar amount is not yet determined.
