The Department of Health and Human Services reversed its decision on January 14, 2026, rescinding plans to terminate approximately $2 billion in Substance Abuse and Mental Health Services Administration (SAMHSA) grants just hours after notifying recipients of the cuts. The initial notices affected providers nationwide and spanned dozens of grant programs supporting mental health services, substance use disorder treatment, rural emergency medical services, and community-based crisis response. The reversal was the result of advocacy from providers, advocacy groups, and members of Congress. It underscores the influence that stakeholder outreach can have when utilized loudly and effectively.
