Supportive housing provisions modified.

AI Generated Summary

This bill modifies provisions related to supportive housing in Minnesota by amending Minnesota Statutes 2024, section 256I.04, subdivision 3. It maintains the moratorium on new housing support beds with rates exceeding the Minnesota Supplemental Aid (MSA) equivalent rate but establishes several exceptions. These exceptions include beds for people with developmental disabilities, chronic inebriates in Hennepin County, and supportive housing for homeless adults with disabilities, including mental illness and substance use disorders. Additionally, the bill authorizes new supportive housing beds in specific counties and facilities, particularly for individuals recovering from substance use disorder or experiencing homelessness. The bill also allows agencies to replace existing high-rate beds lost due to closures, changes in licensure, or downsizing, with provisions for transferring beds between agencies by agreement.
