The bill establishes an Extended Foster Care Services Grant Program under Minnesota Statutes, section 260C.453, aimed at providing financial support and case management services to youth aged 21 to 27 who have previously been in foster care. Eligible grantees must be community-based providers with expertise in serving transition-age youth, maintain nondiscrimination policies, ensure geographic access to services, meet performance metrics set by the commissioner, and adhere to training standards. Youth eligibility criteria include having been in foster care at age 14 or older, not currently receiving Title IV-E foster placement, and being engaged in education, employment, or treatment programs.

The bill mandates that grantees provide monthly stipends adjusted for living costs, case management services, financial literacy training, housing navigation assistance, and transition planning. It also requires the commissioner to track and report program outcomes, including disparities based on protected classes and geography. The bill includes provisions for the commissioner to establish application procedures and stipend rates by January 1, 2027, and appropriates funds from the general fund for the program's implementation in fiscal year 2027. The program is set to take effect on July 1, 2028.
