HEART Act of 2026
The HEART Act of 2026 directs the Department of Health and Human Services to create a new office dedicated to providing mental health and family stability support to communities affected by federal immigration enforcement actions. This office would fund mobile response teams, emergency counseling vouchers, and grants for local organizations to offer trauma-informed care and culturally competent behavioral health services. A key provision requires that any data collected about these enforcement actions be kept separate from immigration agencies to protect community trust. Additionally, the bill mandates the development of multilingual health education campaigns and the training of healthcare providers to better serve these populations.
