The bill expands and funds on-site service coordinators to improve health, housing stability, and benefits access for seniors, people with disabilities, and low-income renters, but does so with substantial new federal spending, limited reach, and risks of administrative complexity and service interruptions if future appropriations lapse.
Seniors, people with disabilities, and low-income renters gain access to on-site service coordinators who help with health care navigation, benefits access, and housing stability.
Owners/operators of eligible assisted and rural properties receive federal funding to cover service coordinator salaries, training, and administrative costs, reducing operators' out-of-pocket burdens and encouraging provision of supportive services.
The bill provides predictable, multi-year grant terms (typically three years) and explicit appropriations for some programs, improving continuity of services and allowing local and state housing agencies to plan delivery.
Taxpayers face new federal spending across multiple programs (hundreds of millions annually or over the five-year window), which could increase deficits or require offsets from other priorities.
Many eligible residents and properties will not receive benefits—e.g., only 150 LIHTC properties are funded—so the bill's reach is limited and large numbers of low-income households may remain without on-site services.
Authorized grants are time-limited and funding is subject to future appropriations, so service coordinator positions could end if Congress does not reauthorize or fund them, risking disruptive interruptions in care.

Creates and funds multiple grant programs across HUD, USDA, and HHS to expand, standardize, and train service coordinators who help residents of federally assisted and low-income housing access health and supportive services. It requires training and reporting, sets minimum training reserves for owners, and includes grant priorities and prohibitions against forcing residents to accept services. Authorizes new or expanded competitive grant programs for Section 202 properties, Section 515 rural properties, HUD-assisted properties, and certain low-income tax-credit properties, and sets multi-year funding authorizations starting in FY2026. One amendment to a Higher Education Act provision is included but the supplied text is incomplete, so its effects are uncertain from the excerpt provided.
