Development of culturally specific mental health services appropriation

This bill appropriates $4.3 million from the general fund for a one-time grant to Phumulani Minnesota African Women Against Violence. The funds are specifically for developing culturally specific mental health services targeting African immigrant communities in Minnesota. Key uses include program development, facility maintenance, training culturally competent mental health professionals from these communities, and creating financial literacy partnerships. The appropriation is available until June 30, 2027, and must support holistic mental health programs and advocacy efforts.
