Homeless outreach organizations prepare for the upcoming winter weather

The 2026 Alabama legislative session produced several measures that could affect healthcare access and public assistance across the state. From strengthening rural healthcare partnerships to changing how Supplemental Nutrition Assistance Program benefits may be used and reducing out-of-pocket costs for certain cancer screenings, the measures reflect a broad focus on healthcare delivery and prevention.

Community Action Agencies across Alabama continue to strengthen partnerships aimed at expanding workforce development and economic mobility opportunities.
