African health collaborative grant program appropriation

This bill appropriates $500,000 for fiscal year 2026 and $500,000 for fiscal year 2027 from the general fund to create a grant program focused on mental health services for African immigrant families in Minnesota. The commissioner of human services will administer the program, requiring grantees to directly collaborate with these families to address mental health needs. It is a one-time funding allocation, not an ongoing appropriation. The bill specifically targets support for mental health issues within the African immigrant community through community-based grant recipients.
