Support for Substance Use Harm Reduction Programs

This act aims to improve access to services for individuals who use substances by funding harm reduction programs. This means more local initiatives to prevent infectious diseases, overdoses, and provide access to treatment and health education, potentially enhancing public safety and health in communities.
Key points
The act allocates $30 million annually (from 2025 to 2029) to support community-based harm reduction programs for individuals who use substances.
These programs may include distributing injection equipment, overdose reversal medication, and connecting individuals to treatment and support services.
Funding will be available to state, local, tribal, and territorial governments, tribal organizations, harm reduction programs, and healthcare providers.
