Increased Funding for Addiction Recovery, Job Support, and Reentry Programs.
This law significantly increases and extends funding for programs that help individuals recover from addiction, secure employment, and successfully reenter society. A major change is the boost in grant money and the new ability to use funds for transportation to work, training, or treatment centers. Recovery housing programs are also extended through 2028.
Key points
Funding for addiction treatment and workforce support grants increases from $5 million to $36 million annually (Fiscal Years 2024-2028).
Individuals in recovery or job training can now receive transportation assistance to get to work, vocational education, or treatment facilities.
The Recovery Housing Program, which provides safe living environments for those recovering from substance use disorders, is reauthorized until 2028.
Grant distribution prioritizes states with high overdose death rates and significant labor market challenges (high unemployment, low participation).
