Bill Overview

Analyzed Economic Effects

3 provisions identified: 2 benefits, 0 costs, 1 mixed.

24/7 family help centers in metro cities

The law creates two 24/7 centers in metropolitan-class cities starting Sept 1, 2025. Families get free assessments and help. Services include parenting support, youth counseling, mental health care, substance use help, tutoring, job-readiness, financial literacy, and help with food or clothing. Centers use trauma-informed, culturally relevant care and host community providers and navigators. Centers must join the National Assessment Center Association. The pilot ends Sept 1, 2030.

Funding rules for family help centers

Beginning Sept 1, 2025, each designated center can get up to $500,000 a year. No more than 10% of program funds, and not over $50,000 a year, can pay for administration. Money comes from the Medicaid Managed Care Excess Profit Fund. If that fund has no money, the state cannot use General Funds. The law also lets that fund pay for this pilot after it covers required losses.

Community voice and follow-up at centers

Centers must apply for designation and pass a quality review starting Sept 1, 2025, including a self-assessment and site visits. Each center has a youth council and a parent board. Centers hold outreach with schools and faith groups and hire mentors with lived experience. Centers provide ongoing support after initial services, like check-ins and alumni mentoring. Centers collect data to improve services, and DHHS evaluates the pilot every year.
