The bill proposes an appropriation of $700,000 for each of the fiscal years 2026 and 2027 from the general fund to the commissioner of human services. This funding is designated for a grant to Restoration for All, Inc., aimed at providing mental health and suicide prevention services specifically tailored for Minnesota's African immigrant and refugee community. The grant is intended to enhance culturally relevant services and resources addressing mental health, substance use disorders, and suicide prevention.
Additionally, the grant money may be utilized to support the physical and mental wellness needs of the elderly and to provide mental health support and suicide prevention resources for underrepresented students in higher education. This funding represents a one-time appropriation, emphasizing the state's commitment to improving mental health services for these targeted populations.
