The "Supporting Women Act" establishes a grant program in Minnesota to provide financial assistance to nonprofit women's pregnancy centers and maternity homes that offer housing and services to pregnant women, particularly those in crisis or at risk of homelessness. To qualify for these grants, organizations must provide relevant programs and services at no or reduced cost and are prohibited from using grant funds for abortion-related activities. The bill defines maternity homes and women's pregnancy centers, sets eligibility criteria for grant recipients, and includes provisions for the use of grant funds, privacy protections for women seeking services, and compliance monitoring.

In addition to the grant program, the bill reallocates funds from other health-related programs, reducing appropriations to support this initiative. It includes significant funding allocations for various health-related initiatives and task forces for fiscal years 2024 and 2025, such as $4 million for the 988 Suicide and Crisis Lifeline and $199,000 for the Task Force on Pregnancy Health and Substance Use Disorders. The bill also adjusts the general fund base for fiscal years 2026 and 2027, decreasing it while introducing new appropriations of $4 million each for the grant program supporting women's pregnancy centers and maternity homes. Overall, the act aims to enhance support for pregnant women and their children while addressing health disparities and vulnerable populations.
