Join us to learn about the Follow Along Program! It is a FREE developmental resource to support families and caregivers with a child’s learning and growing, connecting them to supports and services as needed. Implemented by our Local Public Health agencies across the state, it is designed for families with children ages birth-3 years of age (and with new legislative funds we are extending to 5 ½ years). The Follow Along Program has been around for over 35 years, it is evidence-based and utilizes the Ages and Stages periodic questionnaires with developmental activities shared through the mail or electronically throughout the child’s early years. It is the only Minnesota screening program that does not require a face-to-face meeting, eligibility requirements, or the need to provide immigration status, citizenship, or financial status. Supporting a young child’s development early is key to lifelong health and well-being. Find out how the Follow Along Program can be a resource to you.

DHS, through its Behavioral Health Division, is seeking to provide Projects for Assistance in Transition from Homelessness (PATH) homeless outreach services, and Housing with Supports for Adults with Serious Mental Illness grant program (HSASMI) housing services, for adults with serious mental illness, or co-occurring SMI and substance use disorder who are homeless or at imminent risk of homelessness, have complex needs, and face high barriers to obtaining and maintaining housing.
Minnesota Housing is pleased to announce the availability of up to approximately $15 million in funding to provide temporary rental assistance, security deposits, and access to housing supports and supportive services to people with a mental illness in under-resourced communities in accordance with Minnesota Statutes section 462A.2097 through the Bridges Rental Assistance (Bridges) Program and Bridges Regional Treatment Center (Bridges RTC) Program.
The $15 million will be distributed as grants through a competitive request for proposals (RFP) process in accordance with the policies established by the Minnesota Department of administration Office of Grants Management (OGM).
Bridges Program RFP applications are due to Minnesota Housing by 12:00 p.m. (noon) Central Time on Wednesday, December 4, 2024.
The Bridges Program and Bridges RTC Program operate as a partnership between local housing agencies and local mental health entities, behavioral health service agencies, and partners.
Additionally, the Bridges RTC Program provides rental assistance for people who meet Bridges eligibility criteria and who are being discharged from the Anoka Metro Regional Treatment Center (AMRTC) or the St. Peter Regional Treatment Center, now known as Forensic Services.
Eligible applicants include housing agencies, housing authorities, nonprofit organizations, and Tribal Nations. Applicants must also be in partnership with a local mental health entity.
More information, including the application materials, can be found on Minnesota Housing’s Bridges Program webpage.
