What it does
This bill extends federal funding for family-to-family health information centers—nonprofit organizations that help families of children with special health care needs navigate the health system—by appropriating $6 million for the remainder of fiscal 2025 and $9 million annually through 2029. The centers provide peer support, training, and information to families, and this bill simply renews their existing federal grant program.
Why we flagged it
The bill is a straightforward five-year extension of existing federal funding for a nonprofit health information and peer-support program serving families with children with special health care needs. It contains no policy changes, deregulation, or private-sector carve-outs—only appropriations renewal.
