H.R. 10246, introduced in the U.S. House on September 3, 2026, would add a new grant program to the Public Health Service Act. The grants would help health centers and crisis facilities pay for building projects — like new construction, renovations, and expansions. Eligible facilities include federally funded health centers and crisis receiving and stabilization facilities that work with local mental health and substance use organizations.
This bill could bring federal grant money to Houston-area health centers and crisis facilities for building projects, affecting where residents can get mental health or substance use help.
