Bill > S48

This bill aims to establish a grant program within the Social Security Act's Title V to fund community-based maternal mentoring programs. The programs would provide eligible mothers (pregnant women or women with young children) with access to community-based mentors to support their mental and physical health, financial literacy, parenting skills, and connection to social services. The grants would be awarded competitively to eligible entities, such as local governments, tribes, and non-profit organizations, and would require demonstration of measurable improvements in key areas like maternal and child health, financial self-sufficiency, and community resource coordination. The bill also includes provisions to prioritize high-risk populations, maintain funding levels, and protect the participation of religious organizations.
