Bill > HR8669

This bill aims to establish a grant program for community-based maternal mentoring programs. It would provide grants to eligible entities, such as local governments, Indian tribes, and nonprofit organizations, to conduct demonstration projects and deliver services through these mentoring programs. The programs must include core components like providing community-based mentoring relationships for eligible mothers, conducting individualized needs assessments, and utilizing community-based volunteer mentors. The programs are required to demonstrate measurable improvements in areas like maternal and child health, financial literacy, and access to community resources. The bill also prioritizes serving high-risk populations, such as low-income mothers and those with a history of substance abuse or domestic abuse.
