Creates new grants to help local groups improve health in underserved areas.
The Health Access Innovation Act of 2025 would create a new grant program. This program would let the Department of Health and Human Services give money to local faith- and community-based groups. These groups would use the funds to expand health services and address long-standing health problems in communities that need it most.
Today, there isn't a specific federal program to give grants to local faith- or community-based groups for health equity. If this bill passes, the Public Health Service Act would be changed to create a new grant program, setting aside $50,000,000 for the government's budget year 2026 and increasing to $70,000,000 by 2029, to fund these local efforts.
