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 chronicle 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, as well as the architectural heritage of the Anoka State Hospital. By providing financial support for this initiative, the legislation seeks to enhance public understanding and appreciation of mental health history and its impact on the community.
