Summary

Support for Patients and Communities Reauthorization Act

This bill reauthorizes through FY2028 and modifies various grants, programs, and activities that address substance use and misuse.

This includes reauthorizing (1) data collection, education, and surveillance activities; (2) grants and other support for substance use disorder prevention, treatment, and recovery; (3) student loan repayment and other programs for the substance use disorder workforce; and (4) programs for addressing trauma, particularly for children, youth, and their families.
