The Department of Human Services (DHS) will hold a community meeting on Culturally Specific Grants on April 30, 2025, from 4-6 p.m. This community meeting will be held both in-person and online. The in-person meeting will take place at the Elmer L. Andersen Human Services Building located at 540 Cedar Street, Saint Paul, MN 55101, Conference Room 2370 (directions and parking information). Information about online access will be made available later to those who RSVP at the link below.
This community meeting will help DHS better understand challenges and barriers culturally specific providers and responsive substance use and recovery programs experience when navigating our request for proposals (RFPs) and grant award process. Attendees will also learn more about forthcoming opportunities for culturally specific RFPs.
Interested providers and related stakeholders must RSVP to attend. Attendees who need accessibility, language interpreters or other access-related accommodations to participate must indicate the specific accommodation needed in the RSVP form by April 15, 2025. Light snacks will be provided for in-person attendees.
During this community meeting, attendees will discuss:
- Challenges and/or barriers providers and related stakeholders experience when navigating the DHS RFP process
- Questions or concerns about the RFP process and/or about contracting with the State
- Forthcoming RFPs and trainings (opportunities and resources, when to be on the lookout for online webinars explaining the RFPs) and explaining the statute that allocated funds for culturally specific technical assistance
- Gathering info on useful trainings from culturally specific providers
