The Community Mental Wellness and Resilience Act of 2025 establishes a federal grant program to fund community-based mental wellness initiatives across the country. The bill authorizes $36 million over fiscal years 2026 through 2030 to support two types of grants: planning grants up to $250,000 to help organizations assess community needs and develop proposals, and program grants up to $500,000 per year for up to four years to establish or expand mental wellness programs. The programs must use a public health approach focused on prevention and building community resilience, and eligible applicants include networks of at least five different community sectors—such as schools, nonprofits, faith organizations, healthcare providers, and local businesses. The bill sets aside 20 percent of funds specifically for rural areas and requires the Department of Health and Human Services to submit a report to Congress by December 2030 detailing the results and best practices from funded programs.
