HOPE Act

This bill changes the federal health profession opportunity grant program under the Social Security Act. For each grant cycle, the Secretary of Health and Human Services would have to award grants to at least 2 eligible organizations in each state and the District of Columbia (not territories), if enough qualifying applications are submitted. If a state has fewer than 2 eligible organizations, that must be noted in a report. During each Congress, the Secretary would report to two congressional committees on the number of applications submitted and approved. The changes would take effect on October 1, 2025.
