This bill amends Minnesota Statutes 2024, specifically section 256B.051, to modify the application processing times for housing stabilization services and adjust the rates for housing support supplemental services. It establishes new provider qualifications, requiring eligible providers to submit an application to the commissioner, who must process each application within two weeks. Additionally, the bill mandates that providers must enroll as medical assistance program providers, comply with relevant laws, and complete annual training.

Furthermore, the bill modifies the supplemental service rates for individuals in specific settings, reducing these rates by half over a two-year period. It clarifies that services must not be duplicative for individuals receiving both supplemental services and housing stabilization services. Notably, the reduction in rates is suspended for supplemental services provided from July 1, 2025, through June 30, 2026.
