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, centralizing administrative functions, and creating sustainable financial pathways for addressing health-related social needs. Grantees are required to report on initiative outcomes, and the Commissioner of Health will evaluate the initiative's effectiveness. The bill appropriates $8.9 million for the 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.
