As co-chair of the Strengthening Families Through Behavioral Health Coalition, DC Appleseed thanks Councilmembers Henderson, Felder, and Parker for their insightful questions during yesterday's budget hearing with the Department of Behavioral Health!
2 Jun 2025
Attending today’s Health Committee hearing, and in addition to the cut in FY27 to the UPSFF (how we fund schools) and the elimination of numerous youth programs, the Mayor’s proposed budget reduces the School-Based Behavioral Program by $2.3 million and youth crisis services by $1.2 million.
How are we supposed to turn around troubling trends for our youth if the very programs meant to help them are gutted?

#Juneteenth commemorates the day the last enslaved people in the US were emancipated and is often referred to as our second independence day. It is a great day to reflect upon the history of #RacialEquity in the US, where it stands today, and how we can improve moving forward.
