The federal government informed more than 2,000 mental health programs nationwide on Tuesday night that it would be terminating nearly $2 billion in funding, effective immediately, citing the agency's "different priorities." According to the Shapiro administration, the feds rolled back that decision less than 24 hours later. Newswatch 16 asked Governor Josh Shapiro about this funding cut at a roundtable discussion on Thursday morning with the Department of Drug and Alcohol Programs.

The unexpected $2 billion funding cut would have cost programs in Luzerne County nearly $3 million.

A day after the Department of Health and Human Services implemented a late-night rollback of $2 billion in mental health and substance use funding, an administration official confirmed late Wednesday that the grants are now being restored. The cancellation of Substance Abuse and Mental Health Services Administration funding had blindsided grantees and sent shock waves through organizations that provide anti-drug and mental health services.

Many of the affected grant programs had bipartisan support and President Donald Trump has supported them in the past.

The move represents a victory — if only a modest one — for a range of groups: recovery and harm reduction organizations critical of law enforcement spending, local leaders who want more flexibility with settlement funds, and advocates who argue public defenders play a vital role in helping people dealing with addiction.

Bucks County can now use opioid settlement money for public defense, a change that could influence how other Pennsylvania counties spend their funds.
