AI Summary
This bill provides $150 million in emergency funding for home visiting programs under Section 511 of the Social Security Act during the COVID-19 pandemic. Eligible entities that are already running home visiting programs must ensure they do not reduce funding or staffing levels despite reduced enrollment, and coordinate with local diaper banks when providing emergency supplies like diapers and formula to eligible families. The funds can be used for in-person or virtual home visits, hazard pay for staff, training on virtual visits and emergency preparedness, and the acquisition of technology to support virtual visits. The funds can also be used to provide emergency supplies, coordinate with diaper banks, and provide prepaid grocery cards to help families meet their emergency needs.
