Key Points

The bill tells the Department of Health and Human Services to build a website that lists all federal grants for mental health and drug addiction. This site will show which grants are open, when they are due, and how to apply. It must be easy to use and work for people with disabilities.
Many different groups can use this tool to find funding. This includes schools, local police, veterans programs, and tribal organizations. It also helps small nonprofits and community groups that might not have the staff to search through many different government websites to find help.
The website will include information about state programs too. Since some federal money goes to states first, the dashboard will try to show where that money ends up. This makes it easier for local clinics or schools to find money that is being handed out by their own state government.
Government leaders have about six months to come up with a plan for the website. The full site must be up and running within two years. They will talk to teachers and healthcare workers to make sure the search tools actually work for the people who need them most.
