This bill appropriates $500,000 from the arts and cultural heritage fund for the fiscal year 2026 to support Haven for Heroes. The funds are 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 appropriation includes efforts to preserve the historic auditorium located on the state hospital campus in Anoka.

The bill emphasizes the importance of recognizing and preserving the historical significance of mental health care in Minnesota, particularly through the establishment of a dedicated museum. This initiative not only aims to honor the legacy of the Anoka State Hospital but also seeks to enhance public understanding of mental health issues and the care provided over the years.
