The bill proposes the establishment of an African Health Collaborative Grant Program aimed at addressing mental health issues within the African immigrant community in Minnesota. It includes an appropriation of $500,000 for fiscal year 2026 and another $500,000 for fiscal year 2027, which will be allocated from the general fund to the commissioner of human services. This funding is designated as a one-time appropriation.

The grant program will require recipients to engage with families in the African immigrant community, focusing on mental health challenges they face. This initiative seeks to enhance mental health support and resources tailored to the specific needs of this community, thereby promoting better mental health outcomes.
