Summary
Period PROUD (Providing Resources for Our Underserved and Disadvantaged) Act of 2023
This bill provides additional funding through FY2028 for the Social Services Block Grant to support the provision of menstrual products (e.g., menstrual cups and underwear, sanitary napkins, and tampons) to low-income individuals.
