This Minnesota Senate bill (S.F. No. 2001) proposes an amendment to Minnesota Statutes 2024, Section 256I.05, by adding a new subdivision. It mandates that, starting July 1, 2025, agencies must negotiate a supplementary housing support rate for providers operating "indoor communities" designed for individuals experiencing unsheltered homelessness and dealing with complex health issues, including substance use disorder, serious mental illness, and physical health conditions.

Key provisions include: - The housing environments must provide secure, private dwellings. - Facilities must offer 24-hour supervision and on-site support services. - The supplementary rate applies to: - 100-bed facilities in the Twin Cities metropolitan area that have been operational since 2020. - 48-bed facilities in central Minnesota that will open after 2025. - The maximum supplementary rate is capped at $975 per month, including any future inflationary adjustments authorized by legislation.

This bill aims to enhance financial support for housing providers serving vulnerable populations with significant health and housing needs.
