Over 150 House Democrats urged HHS Secretary Robert F. Kennedy Jr. to reverse a freeze on Title X funds, crucial for family planning services, impacting low-income households. The freeze, affecting 16 organizations, resulted from an evaluation related to federal civil rights and Trump’s Executive Order on undocumented immigrants. The annual Title X budget is over $200 million, and Planned Parenthood has confirmed that nine affiliates received notice of funding withdrawal. HHS declined to comment on the specifics, raising concerns over access to essential health services that rely on these funds.
"More than 150 House Democrats signed a letter urging HHS to reverse the freeze on Title X funds crucial for family planning services targeting low-income households."
"On March 31, Planned Parenthood confirmed that nine of its affiliates had their Title X funding withheld, reflecting the implications of HHS's funding freeze amidst political directives."
