Mamas and Babies in Underserved Communities Act of 2024

This bill authorizes federal grants to expand maternal health services in underserved communities. It directly affects public and nonprofit health care providers serving minority, low-income, or medically underserved areas, requiring them to improve prenatal, postnatal, and postpartum care while reducing racial and economic disparities. Key provisions include prioritizing community-led providers, limiting administrative costs to 10% of grant funds, and mandating culturally appropriate care. The grants, funded for fiscal years 2025-2029, aim to enhance health outcomes for mothers and infants in these communities through coordinated service delivery.
