The Senate Omnibus Is Our Next Step. Here Is How You Can Help.

HF 4288 was not included in the House Human Services Finance omnibus bill. That is a setback. But it is not the end.

The Senate Human Services omnibus process is still underway, and SF 4310 has already received a committee hearing. There is a clear path to getting the Disability Waiver Rate System (DWRS) framework rate methodology restored for Family Residential Services providers through an amendment to the Senate omnibus bill — and we need every member of the MARSH coalition to help make it happen.

What is MARSH?

MARSH (Minnesota Association of Residential Service Homes) is a 501(c)(6) business association representing Minnesota providers of adult foster care (AFC) and home- and community-based services (HCBS). Its members hold licenses under Minnesota Statutes Chapters 245A and 245D.

Mission Statement

MARSH exists to promote the adult foster care and family residential services (FRS) industries in Minnesota, to assist providers in maintaining compliance with statutory and regulatory requirements, to promote best practices in the provision of AFC and FRS services, to combat overzealous enforcement by the Minnesota Department of Human Services (DHS), and to advocate in the legislature and in the courts on behalf of AFC and FRS providers.
