Creates two new HHS grant programs to prevent and respond to childhood trauma. One program will fund and evaluate data-driven projects that identify where early intervention can help connect children and families to services (up to 5 awards). The other will fund trauma-informed care coordination for children ages 0–5 and their caregivers (including prenatal people), awarding between 9 and 40 grants to local governments and Indian Tribes and authorizing $15,000,000 per year for five years with set-asides and award-size rules.
Both programs require regular reporting and evaluations, allow funds for service connection and program development, and include definitions, eligibility rules, and limits on allowable uses of grant funds.
