Two health job training grants per state
Starting October 1, 2025, this would require at least two health job‑training grants in every state each grant cycle, if enough eligible applicants apply. U.S. territories are not included. This could mean more local access to training tied to healthcare jobs for low-income people and job seekers. The Secretary would also have to report to Congress each Congress on applications, approvals, and any state with fewer than two grantees. The Secretary would note any state with fewer than two eligible applicants in the annual fiscal‑year report.
