Residential substance use treatment programs for pregnant and postpartum women receive a funding increase and five-year extension under this reauthorization. Annual funding rises from approximately $29.9 million to $38.9 million for fiscal years 2025 through 2029. Grant applicants must now include a plan describing how they will deliver services, and may describe how they will target outreach to women disproportionately affected by maternal substance use disorder. A minor technical correction updates the program's terminology from 'health services' to 'health care services.'
