Dream’s Caregiver Health and Wellness Act

This bill would require the Department of Health and Human Services, through the Administration for Community Living, to create a grant program for nonprofit organizations that run programs to support caregiver wellness. Grant money could be used to give caregivers meals, rides to and from work, mental health services, wellness programs, and other services the department approves. Caregivers are defined as people who provide care to seniors, people with intellectual or developmental disabilities, or people with chronic illnesses. The department would report to Congress each year on how grant money was used, who was served, and any measurable results. The bill authorizes $250 million per year for fiscal years 2027 through 2031.
