Reducing Obesity in Youth Act of 2025

This bill would create a Healthy Kids Grant Program run by the Centers for Disease Control and Prevention, working with the Administration for Children and Families. The program would give 5-year competitive grants to nonprofits, colleges, or research centers to improve healthy eating and physical activity and address food insecurity among children from birth through age 5 in child care, Head Start, and pre-kindergarten settings. Grant recipients would train child care providers, help states add nutrition and activity efforts to existing programs, and test new approaches. An outside evaluator would check compliance and outcomes, and the Secretary would report results to Congress. The bill authorizes $5 million per year for fiscal years 2026 through 2030, plus $1.7 million in 2026 to track state progress.
