Community Mentors for Moms Act: Grants for Maternal Support and Financial Literacy.

This law establishes a new grant program to fund local, community-based mentoring for expectant and new mothers (with children under 6). The goal is to improve maternal and child health outcomes, boost financial self-sufficiency, and connect families with essential social services. The program prioritizes high-risk populations, including low-income mothers and young pregnant women.
Key points
$100 million authorized annually for local organizations to run volunteer mentoring programs for mothers.
The support aims for measurable improvements in mental health, parenting skills, financial literacy, and access to community resources.
Organizations that perform, refer for, or counsel in favor of abortions are explicitly prohibited from receiving these federal funds.
