Establishes grant programs to improve nesting success rates of migratory waterfowl by deploying hen houses and enhancing breeding habitat.

The Habitat Enhancement Now Act establishes two competitive grant programs to improve nesting success rates of migratory waterfowl. The first program involves placing, building, and maintaining hen houses in the prairie pothole region. The second program focuses on developing breeding habitat in California, including establishing nesting cover, creating brood ponds, and providing incentives to landowners. Funding is allocated for each program from fiscal years 2026 through 2030.
