The bill expands and stabilizes funding for on-site service coordinators to connect low-income residents to health and economic supports—improving care coordination and workforce capacity—while creating new federal costs, limiting some provider eligibility and fund flexibility, and raising modest privacy concerns.
Low-income residents living in qualified affordable housing will gain access to coordinated health, mental-health, and economic supports through funded service coordinators placed in their buildings.
Nonprofit and mission-driven housing owners will be prioritized for five-year grants, increasing funding stability for supportive housing programs they operate.
Healthcare and social-service workforces (caseworkers, service coordinators) and local service capacity will be strengthened because grants can fund hiring, salaries, benefits, and training.
Taxpayers may face ongoing federal costs to fund the program, and up to 5% of appropriations can be reserved for technical assistance rather than direct resident services.
Newer or smaller community providers and some nonprofits could be excluded from funding because eligibility favors experienced property owners/managers and tribes.
Grant recipients and the residents they serve will have reduced flexibility in how funds are used because at least 25% of award amounts must go to coordinator pay.

Creates an HHS competitive grant program funding five‑year resident service coordination grants for eligible owners/managers and tribes serving qualified affordable housing.
Introduced August 5, 2025 by Peter Rey Aguilar · Last progress August 5, 2025
Establishes a new annual competitive grant program at HHS (Administration for Children and Families) to fund five‑year grants that expand on‑site resident services in federally supported affordable housing. Grants go to experienced property owners/managers, tribes/tribal organizations, with a priority for mission‑driven nonprofits; funds may support hiring service coordinators and caseworkers, funding service activities, and capacity building, but may not force residents to accept services. Recipients must follow spending rules, report annually, and the agency will publish grantee descriptions and coordinate with HUD.
