The bill appropriates $500,000 from the arts and cultural heritage fund for the fiscal year 2026 to support Haven for Heroes. This funding is designated for a grant to the commissioner of administration, aimed at planning and designing a museum that will document the history of the Anoka State Hospital and the evolution of mental health care. Additionally, the grant will facilitate the preservation of the historic auditorium located on the state hospital campus in Anoka.

This initiative underscores the importance of recognizing and preserving the historical context of mental health care in Minnesota, while also providing a dedicated space for education and reflection on the subject. The establishment of the museum and preservation efforts will contribute to the cultural heritage of the state and honor the legacy of those who have been affected by mental health issues.
