The bill establishes a community care hub grant program under the direction of the Commissioner of Health in Minnesota. It aims to expand and strengthen the community care hub model by organizing a network of health and social care service providers to address health-related social needs. The bill defines key terms such as "community-based organization," "community care hub," and "health-related social needs," and outlines eligibility criteria for applicants seeking the grant. Eligible applicants must be recognized as community care hubs by federal agencies, hold contracts with health plans, and demonstrate active engagement in providing health and social care services.

Additionally, the bill specifies how the grant funds must be utilized, including engaging community-based organizations, expanding social care services, centralizing administrative functions, and creating sustainable financial pathways for addressing health-related social needs. Grantees are required to report on the outcomes of their initiatives, and the Commissioner of Health will evaluate the program's effectiveness. The bill appropriates $8.9 million for the community care hub grant and an additional $1 million for evaluation and support, both available until June 30, 2030. The provisions of this bill are set to take effect on July 1, 2025.
