This bill appropriates a total of $600,000 from the general fund to the Minnesota Department of Human Services for the fiscal years 2026 and 2027. The funds are designated for a grant to Wellness in the Woods, an organization that provides support services for individuals in substance use recovery, those transitioning out of incarceration, and individuals who have experienced trauma.
The specific allocation includes $300,000 for each fiscal year, aimed at facilitating daily peer support and special sessions to assist these vulnerable populations. This initiative seeks to enhance the resources available for recovery and reintegration, ultimately promoting better outcomes for individuals facing these challenges.
