This proposed federal law would create grants to help underserved communities with high rates of chronic disease get better access to health and nutrition services. Local partnerships would coordinate care across health clinics, nutrition programs, and social services. Priority goes to communities with food insecurity, rural areas, health professional shortages, and persistent poverty. Introduced in the House on September 3, 2026, the bill was referred to the Committees on Energy and Commerce and Agriculture.
If Houston neighborhoods qualify as underserved or food insecure, local health clinics and nutrition programs could apply for federal grants created by this bill.
