Details:
The Sexual and Reproductive Health Services (SRHS) is a grant program that was originally established by the Minnesota Legislature in 1978 as the Family Planning Special Projects (FPSP) program and revised in Minnesota Statute 145.925 during the 2023 legislative session. The 2023 revisions included a name change to better reflect the program’s purpose to increase access to sexual and reproductive health services. SRHS funds are appropriated biannually by the Minnesota Legislature to fund preconception sexual and reproductive health programs throughout the State of Minnesota.
The SRHS grant provides funds to address barriers for people who experience difficulties in accessing sexual and reproductive health services due to (or because of):
- Poverty
- Racial and ethnic discrimination
- Gender identity discrimination
- Sexual orientation discrimination
- Disability status
- Lack of insurance, or transportation
- Geographic location
- Language
- Age
- Concerns about confidentiality.
