AI-generated summary, report an errorThis bill would create a competitive federal grant program, run by the Health Resources and Services Administration, for federally qualified health centers. Grants could be used to screen patients for food insecurity, run on-site food pantries, partner with food banks and farms, hire dietitians, and offer culturally tailored nutrition education. The agency would provide training and data support, and would coordinate with the Department of Agriculture and the Centers for Medicare & Medicaid Services on referrals to SNAP and WIC and on paying for nutrition services. Health centers receiving grants would file annual reports, and the bill authorizes $100 million per year for fiscal years 2027 through 2031.
