Period PROUD (Providing Resources for Our Underserved and Disadvantaged) Act of 2022
Summary
Period PROUD (Providing Resources for Our Underserved and Disadvantaged) Act of 2022 This bill provides additional funding through FY2027 for the Social Services Block Grant to support the provision of menstrual products (e.g., menstrual cups and underwear, sanitary napkins, and tampons) to low-income individuals.
