The Substance Use Disorder Workforce Loan Repayment Act of 2018 (H.R. 5102) Passed the U.S. House of Representatives
FacebookLinkedInTwitter
Because of YOUR activism and YOUR support, the Substance Use Disorder Workforce Loan Repayment Act of 2018 (H.R. 5102) passed the U.S. House of Representatives last week! Thank you for your calls, emails, and messages to your Congressmen and Congresswomen. Your activism and efforts to support the addiction workforce are appreciated!  

The Substance Use Disorder Workforce Loan Repayment Act provides up to $250,000 toward student loan repayment for those who work as substance use disorder treatment professionals in areas of need.

The bill is expected to go before the Senate later this summer, but it is never too early to begin contacting your Senators to express your support. We need your continued voice and your continued activism to make this bill become a law!

Call your Senators today to urge a YES vote on the Substance Use Disorder Workforce Loan Repayment Act.
