## Summary

**Guarantee at least two HOPE grants in every non‑territory state each grant cycle.** This bill would require the Health Profession Opportunity Grant program to award grants to at least two eligible entities per state when there are enough qualifying applications and to boost congressional reporting on who applies and who wins.

## Provisions PRIA read

- Two health job training grants per state: benefit, low. 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.…
