The Minnesota Department of Human Services, through its Resettlement Programs Office (STATE), is seeking to Create Social Service Access Hubs for New Americans Across Minnesota. The goal is to establish a network of statewide service hubs that ensure access and support for new Americans to navigate available social services to meet basic needs, during their process of seeking or maintaining legal status and authorization for employment.
Services funded through this RFP will focus on new Americans who do not have access to federally funded benefits or social services, with a particular focus on areas of the state where existing services are unavailable, insufficient or inaccessible.
