TERMINATED programs

$630 million CUT from Community Services Block Grants - - PROGRAM TERMINATED
The Community Services Block Grant (CSBG) provides funds through States to Community Action Agencies to fund social services to reduce poverty and increase self-sufficiency.

$99 million CUT from Preventive Health Block Grant - - PROGRAM TERMINATED
In 1981, Congress authorized the Preventive Health and Health Services Block Grant (PHHSBG). The PHHSBG gives its 61 grantees (50 states, the District of Columbia, 2 American Indian tribes, and 8 U.S. territories) the autonomy and flexibility to tailor prevention and health promotion programs to their particular needs. The value of flexible funding to address public health concerns has never been greater than it is as we enter the 21st century. Terrorist acts, anthrax scares, and a growing realization of the insidious nature of chronic diseases such as diabetes, arthritis, and cardiovascular disease have heightened Americans' awareness of the role of public health. There is an urgent need for funds that can be used when other funds do not exist or when they are inadequate to address the extent of a health problem.
