## Summary

**Creates a centralized, multilingual federal Resource Directory on moms.gov to connect pregnant and postpartum women and parents of young children with local and online supports.** The bill also would fund state-run aggregation systems, bar certain providers from listing or receiving grants, and require regular reporting to Congress on access and gaps. - Families: Would get a searchable clearinghouse and a ZIP Code‑based tool that lists nearby and online resources and offers an opt‑in for phone or email follow up. This aims to make it easier to find services in the family’s language. - States and community organizations: Would be eligible for federal grants to build statewide or community resource systems and must submit outreach plans and resource lists to the Secretary. The site would only host resources approved under criteria set by the Secretary and exclude designated "prohibited entities." - Federal oversight and funding: The Secretary must update moms.gov within 1 year and report to Congress within 180 days after the update on traffic, accessibility, resource gaps, and certify no prohibited entities are listed. The bill authorizes appropriations as needed for fiscal years 2027 through 2032.
