Healthy Start Reauthorization Act of 2025

The Healthy Start Reauthorization Act of 2025 would reauthorize the Healthy Start Initiative under the Public Health Service Act and establish a specific funding level for the program. Specifically, it amends the statute to add a new funding line that provides $145,000,000 for each fiscal year from 2026 through 2030, in addition to the existing appropriation structure. The bill does not alter the core goals of Healthy Start, which focus on improving maternal and child health outcomes in high-risk communities; rather, it ensures five years of dedicated federal funding for the program. The effect is to extend federal support for community-based outreach, services, and services related to early childhood and maternal health, contingent on appropriations.
