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 legal language inserted into the current law includes an appropriation of $300,000 for each of the two fiscal years, aimed at enhancing daily peer support and special sessions offered by Wellness in the Woods. This funding is intended to bolster the resources available for these vulnerable populations, promoting their recovery and reintegration into society.
