Washington County; supplemental rate authorized for a housing support provider.

This bill authorizes a supplemental payment rate for housing support providers in Washington County that serve adults with mental illness, substance use disorders, or housing instability. It requires county agencies to negotiate an additional monthly rate of up to $1,028 for up to 29 beds at facilities that provide 24-hour supervision and related support services. The change amends existing state law to create this new funding category and applies retroactively starting April 1, 2026, once the bill is enacted.
