Last month, Olmsted County announced two separate grant programs to help small businesses and non-profits in the county affected by COVID-19: 

• Small business grant program administered by Rochester Area Economic Development, Inc. (RAEDI).
• Non-profit grant program for non-profits administered by Rochester Area Foundation (RAF).

Now, Olmsted County is pleased to announce the grant recipients for each program have been chosen.

The Southeast Regional Crisis Center (SERCC) Executive Team – with representation from Olmsted and Goodhue counties, Mayo Clinic, Olmsted Medical Center, the southeast chapter of the National Alliance on Mental Illness (NAMI), and local health care plans – recently cast a unanimous vote to select Nexus Family Healing as the operations partner for the Southeast Regional Crisis Center. 

Representatives from many southeastern Minnesota counties, Mayo Clinic, Olmsted Medical Center, the southeast Minnesota chapter of the National Alliance on Mental Illness (NAMI), health plans, as well as Minnesota State Senator Dave Senjem met in Rochester on June 23, 2020 to celebrate the groundbreaking of the Southeast Regional Crisis Center (SERCC).
