Mamas and Babies in Underserved Communities Act of 2025

This bill authorizes the Secretary of Health and Human Services, through the Health Resources and Services Administration, to establish a grant program. The program aims to expand and improve maternal health care services for women and infants in underserved communities across the nation. Grants will be awarded to eligible public or nonprofit private health care providers to enhance services such as prenatal, postnatal for infants, and postpartum care for mothers. A key objective is to improve health outcomes and reduce disparities in access, quality, and outcomes for these populations. Priority will be given to entities that primarily serve minority, low-income, or medically underserved communities, especially those led by or located within the communities they serve. Grantees must provide care in a culturally and linguistically appropriate manner and limit administrative costs to no more than 10 percent of the grant funds. The bill authorizes necessary appropriations for fiscal years 2026 through 2030 to support these initiatives.
