The bill establishes a Community Care Hub Grant under the direction of the Commissioner of Health in Minnesota, aimed at expanding and strengthening the community care hub model. This model organizes and supports a network of health and social care service providers to address health-related social needs, such as food insecurity and housing instability. The bill defines key terms, including "community-based organization" 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 grant funds can be used, including engaging community-based organizations, expanding social care services, and centralizing administrative functions. 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 technical assistance, both available until June 30, 2030. The provisions of this bill are set to take effect on July 1, 2025.
