More funding and care for moms
If enacted, the bill would authorize $38,931,000 each year for fiscal years 2025 through 2029 for residential treatment grants for pregnant and postpartum women. It would broaden allowable activities by changing the phrase "providing health services" to "providing health care services," letting grantees offer a wider set of care. It would also require grant applicants to include a plan describing the services or outcomes they will provide, and that plan may describe targeted outreach to women disproportionately affected by maternal substance use disorder.
