What happened
Congress passed $101 million in funding intended for teen pregnancy prevention, which President Trump signed into law as part of his budget bill. According to a letter from the Democratic Women's Caucus, the Department of Health and Human Services has spent only about $500,000 of the total allocated amount. This leaves approximately $100 million of the funding unspent.

Why it matters
The funding issue concerns the abrupt termination of grants for dozens of organizations in Montana, including nonprofits, universities, and health departments. Many of these recipients were in the third year of a five-year funding cycle. The loss of this federal funding challenges the ability of these organizations to sustain their services.
