Formula Grant 2601MNPREP

The Minnesota Department of Health received a formula grant award of $615,996 from the Administration on Children, Youth and Families, effective October 1, 2025, through September 30, 2028, under the Affordable Care Act (ACA) Personal Responsibility Education Program (PREP), CFDA Number 93.092. This formula grant supports the delivery of sexual health education and youth development services to Minnesota residents aged 10-19, with particular emphasis on pregnant and parenting youth under age 21, as well as at-risk populations including youth in foster care, the juvenile justice system, and experiencing homelessness.

Under this award, the Minnesota Department of Health will implement evidence-based, medically accurate programming that educates youth on abstinence and contraception for the prevention of teen pregnancy and sexually transmitted infections. The program incorporates adulthood preparation topics including healthy relationships, adolescent development, financial literacy, parent-child communication, and career and educational success. As a formula grant recipient, Minnesota submitted a letter of intent for FY2025 funding as part of the established state PREP program cycle, which has maintained 50 state recipients since initial awards were made in FY2010-2011.
