Promoting Community-Based Prevention Services Act
This bill amends the Social Security Act to clarify and expand support for family resource centers within existing family service programs. It defines "family resource center" as community or school-based hubs offering multi-generational, strengths-based, low-cost support to reduce family isolation, and allows states to count spending at these centers toward funding for family preservation, reunification, or adoption services. The changes apply to Title IV programs (like child welfare funding) and take effect for payments starting October 1, 2026, with a potential state implementation delay if state legislation is needed. The bill directly affects states administering these federal programs by altering how they categorize and fund community-based family support services.
