Local groups would get grants to improve health care in underserved communities.
Faith- or community-based organizations would get federal grants to help improve health care in their local communities. This would help people living in areas with few doctors or health services get better access to care. The grants would focus on addressing long-standing health problems and chronic diseases.
Currently, the Public Health Service Act does not specifically allow the Secretary of Health and Human Services to give grants to local faith- or community-based organizations. These grants would address health differences and chronic diseases. If this bill becomes law, the Secretary would create a new grant program. This program would fund these organizations. It would set aside $50 million for the government's budget year 2026, increasing to $70 million by 2030.
