The bill appropriates $3,000,000 from the general fund for fiscal year 2026 to the commissioner of human services for a grant to Age Well at Home. This funding is designated for the establishment of the Minnesota Age in Place Network, which aims to assist older low- to moderate-income homeowners by providing financial support for home modifications and safety renovations. Each individual project funded by the grant is capped at $20,000, ensuring that the resources are distributed effectively among eligible homeowners.
Additionally, the bill allows Age Well at Home to allocate up to ten percent of the grant money for administrative expenses related to the establishment, expansion, and maintenance of the Minnesota Age in Place Network. This provision aims to ensure that the program is sustainable and can effectively serve its intended purpose of supporting aging homeowners in maintaining their residences safely and comfortably.
