Dr. Dan Lustig, President and CEO of Haymarket Center, was interviewed by NPR after the Trump administration abruptly terminated—and then restored—approximately $2 billion in federal grants for mental health and addiction programs. The sudden defunding triggered a backlash from local officials and care providers, and care providers like Dr. Lustig started reaching out to lawmakers in Washington, D.C. In his interview, Dr. Lustig emphasized the critical, life-saving nature of the work done by organizations like Haymarket Center, the largest nonprofit addiction treatment program in Chicago. The bipartisan effort to convince the Trump administration to reverse course proved successful, with funding restored within 24 hours. Listen to the full interview here.
