Grants to Boost Contraception Access and Eliminate Contraceptive Deserts.
This law establishes a new federal grant program, authorizing $100 million annually, aimed at significantly increasing access to the full range of contraceptive methods across the U.S. These funds will help clinics and healthcare facilities, particularly in underserved areas, hire staff, purchase supplies (including emergency contraception), and expand telehealth services.
