Contact Your Representatives to Support the FY 2020 L-HHS Funding Bill
FacebookLinkedInTwitter
The House Appropriations Committee made its priorities clear last week, approving its first bill of the year. The fiscal year 2020 Labor, Health and Human Services, Education, and Related Agencies (L-HHS) funding billrepresents an increase of nearly $12 billion over 2019 levels and an $8.5 billion increase for HHS alone, which supports many of the nation’s most critical treatment and recovery initiatives.

The legislation builds on commitments made in FY19 to stem the nation’s addiction crisis and also delivered funds to three new behavioral health programs aimed at enhancing treatment efforts. Substance use prevention funding also received an additional $7 million above 2019 levels.

Contact your Representatives and urge them to continue fighting for these vital programs. The FY20 L-HHS Appropriations bill supports treatment and recovery services for countless Americans battling substance use disorders across the country. Call on your lawmakers to support this important legislation when it comes to the House floor for full consideration.
