White House Released Proposed Federal FY2021 Budget
FacebookLinkedInTwitter
Following the release of President Trump’s FY2021 budget proposal, A Budget for America's Future, NAADAC has reviewed the Administration’s blueprint with an eye toward its priorities for prevention, treatment and recovery services.

As always, the President’s Budget serves the function of presenting a policy vision ahead of Congress’ annual funding process and does not carry the weight of law. Already, Leader McConnell (R-KY) and Speaker Pelosi (D-CA) have indicated their commitment to last year’s negotiated budget framework as they begin to craft their own respective FY2021 appropriations bills.

Read more about the budget and some key items of interest on NAADAC's Advocacy Alerts Blog.
