This Minnesota House bill (H.F. No. 1777), authored by Representatives Hollins and Agbaje, proposes an appropriation of $1,000,000 from the general fund for fiscal year 2026 to the state's commissioner of health. The funds would be granted to the Birth Justice Collaborative to support the development and implementation of an African American-focused Homeplace model in Hennepin County. The model aims to enhance access to culturally centered care and healing during pregnancy and postpartum, with the goal of improving maternal and child health outcomes. The Birth Justice Collaborative is required to submit a report to the commissioner of health by December 15, 2026 (or 12 months after grant distribution) detailing progress, outcomes, and recommendations for future funding and program expansion. The appropriation remains available until June 30, 2028.
