Health Access Innovation Act of 2025

This bill would let the U.S. Secretary of Health and Human Services give grants to faith-based or community-based organizations to address health inequities and chronic disease. Grant money could pay for medical services, screenings, and tests, and support community health workers, navigators, and peer support specialists. To qualify, an organization must be located in a medically underserved community or a health professional shortage area and must have shown it can address chronic health disparities. The bill authorizes $50 million for fiscal year 2026, rising to $70 million in later years, with no more than 5 percent used for administrative costs.
