Mentoring and Supporting Families Act

This bill changes the federal Health Profession Opportunity Grant program, which funds projects that train people for health care jobs. When choosing which applications to fund, the Secretary would give preference to projects that offer mentoring or peer support and career coaching as part of case management. Preference would also go to projects that commit to giving participants a monthly cash stipend or wage supplement. Every funded project would have to include career coaching in its case management plans, with the option to add peer support and mentoring before, during, and after training. The changes would take effect on October 1, 2025.
