2:55Now PlayingThe Trump administration reversed course this week on plans to slash roughly $2 billion in funding for mental health and addiction programs nationwide.
The money had been cut off late Tuesday without warning, sending shockwaves through a segment of the country's patchwork system of public health agencies and programs that rely on grant funding.
NPR was unable to confirm who triggered the initial decision to terminate the grants. An administration official confirmed to NPR on Thursday that the cuts were being reversed. The official asked not to be identified because they didn't have permission to speak publicly about the decision.
