National Strategy for Social Connection Act

This bill establishes the Office of Social Connection Policy within the Executive Office of the President to coordinate federal efforts addressing loneliness and social disconnection. It requires the creation of an Advisory Council with diverse federal agency representatives and community experts to assess progress, develop guidelines, and produce annual reports on social connection strategies. The bill mandates federal agencies to share relevant data and directs $5 million annually to the CDC for loneliness and social connection research. It directly affects all U.S. citizens - particularly vulnerable groups like seniors, veterans, and low-income communities - by requiring federal agencies to integrate social connection considerations into policy decisions and funding. The key mechanism is a coordinated national strategy to improve community ties through data-driven policy adjustments, not direct service provision.
