US EditionFederal Mental Health and Addiction Funding for Oregonians Restored, 24 Hours After Trump Cut It
Reinstated grants support youth treatment, crisis response, and outreach after public backlash criticized the initial cuts as misaligned with agency goals, officials said.
- On Jan 15, 2026, the Trump administration reinstated nearly $2 billion in SAMHSA grants about 24 hours after abruptly cutting roughly 2,000 grants.
- SAMHSA sent termination emails Tuesday night to hundreds of nonprofit grant recipients, stating programs `no longer effectuate the program goals or agency priorities` without further explanation.
- Under the TREE program Aspire receives $545,000 annually, and three grant programs at Aspire were impacted, according to statements 69 and 71.
- Providers scrambled, issuing layoff and stop-work notices during the funding lapse, while lawmakers from both parties condemned the cuts and Rep. Rosa DeLauro blamed Robert F. Kennedy Jr.
- Congress may weigh SAMHSA funding in an appropriations package by the end of the month, while continuation applications for year five start Oct. 1, creating timing risks as many grant recipients await reversals.
