FLUENT Act

This bill would allow the Secretary of Education to give yearly grants of $150,000 to $1,000,000 to family literacy providers that offer English language and literacy services to English language learners and their families. Grants would last one year and could be renewed for up to four more years. Families could be served only if each caregiver is at least 16 and the family has at least one child under 8. Grantees would have to meet outcome measures and work with schools or nonprofits, and the Secretary would fund technical assistance through national organizations and evaluate the program each year. The bill authorizes $75 million per year for fiscal years 2027 through 2031.
