ASAHP was one of 86 members of the Friends of HRSA coalition and other supporting organizations that urged congressional appropriators to prioritize HRSA funding and to oppose the inclusion of any cuts or partisan policy riders related to any of the agency’s programs. Earlier this year, the Friends of HRSA coalition wrote to the leaders of the Labor-HHS-Education appropriations subcommittees urging them to provide at least $10.5 billion for HRSA in FY 2024. Strong funding for HRSA is critical to supporting all of HRSA’s activities and programs, which are essential to protect the health of our communities.
