The bill establishes a one-time grant program aimed at enhancing the capacity of home services providers to assist individuals in transitioning from congregate living settings to their own homes. The commissioner of human services is tasked with creating this program, which will provide grants to eligible providers of home and community-based services as defined under Minnesota Statutes, chapter 245D. To qualify for the grants, providers must submit applications following the guidelines set by the commissioner. The funds can be used for various purposes, including enhancing resources for housing options, covering moving expenses, testing innovative support approaches for individuals with disabilities, and offering financial incentives for successful transitions to independent living.

Additionally, the bill appropriates $2,500,000 from the general fund for the fiscal year 2025 to support the grant program, with a base funding of $2,500,000 for fiscal year 2026 and no funding allocated for fiscal year 2027. The program is set to expire on June 30, 2026, ensuring a defined timeframe for its implementation and evaluation.
