Reducing Obesity in Youth Act of 2025

HR 5224 establishes the "Healthy Kids Grant Program" to address childhood obesity and food insecurity among children ages birth through 5 in early care and education settings. The bill authorizes $5 million annually (2026-2030) to fund competitive grants for nonprofits, universities, or consortia to train childcare providers on healthy eating, physical activity, and food security strategies. Grantees must work with states and communities to build sustainable training programs, integrate nutrition policies into existing early childhood programs, and test innovative approaches - prioritizing diverse rural and urban populations. The program requires annual reporting to Congress on outcomes, including tracking state progress in obesity prevention and food security improvements.
