Secretary Kennedy Announces $100 Million Investment in Great American Recovery | HHS.gov
(Feb. 6, 2025) – This week, U.S. Department of Health and Human Services Secretary Robert F. Kennedy announced a comprehensive plan to strengthen prevention, expand treatment and implement the executive order President Donald Trump signed last week to ignite the Great American Recovery. The centerpiece of the plan is a $100 million investment to address long-standing homelessness, combat opioid addiction and improve public safety by expanding treatment that emphasizes recovery and self-sufficiency.
The Safety Through Recovery, Engagement and Evidence-based Treatment and Supports (STREETS) initiative will fund targeted outreach, psychiatric care, medical stabilization, crisis intervention and connect Americans experiencing homelessness and addiction to stable housing, with a clear focus on long-term recovery and independence.
