The Human-Services Emergency Logistics Program Act of 2026, or the HELP Act of 2026, aims to significantly improve the accessibility and coordination of 211 services across the United States. This legislation mandates the Secretary of Health and Human Services to establish a program designed to increase the capacity of 211 services in all States, ensuring direct access for every individual. A core objective is to foster greater coordination among 211, 988, and 911 service providers, alongside a public awareness campaign to boost the use of 211 services. The Secretary will select a single administering agency , which must be a qualified nonprofit with experience in 211 services, disaster response, and grants management. This agency will be responsible for advising the Secretary on State allotments, determining funding for qualified 211 service entities, and awarding grants. It will also conduct regular evaluations of the 211 network, submit annual reports, and lead the public awareness campaign to educate individuals on the purpose and function of 211 services. Grants will be awarded to qualified 211 service entities to expand their availability and accessibility, with funds usable for various purposes including: Operating and maintaining 211 contact centers Increasing public awareness and coordination with 911 and 988 services Ensuring ADA compliance and accessibility for all communication methods Covering start-up costs for extending services to unserved areas, and administrative and infrastructure expenses Grantees must adhere to professional information and referral standards, collaborate with other service providers to maintain comprehensive databases, ensure State-level coordination, and provide a 25 percent non-Federal matching contribution. The bill authorizes $250 million annually for fiscal years 2026 through 2032 to fund these initiatives.
