Community Mentors for Moms Act
This bill authorizes $100 million in federal grants to fund community-based maternal mentoring programs for eligible mothers, including pregnant women and caregivers of children under age 6, with priority for high-risk groups like low-income mothers, teens, domestic abuse survivors, and those in opportunity zones. Programs must provide individualized needs assessments, train volunteer mentors, and track measurable outcomes in maternal/child health, financial literacy, parenting skills, and access to community resources. Grantees must submit annual reports on progress toward 3- and 5-year benchmarks, with potential funding adjustments if improvements aren’t demonstrated in key areas. The program supplements existing services without replacing them and prohibits entities that support or refer for abortions from receiving funds.
