The FY2022 Budget, signed into law by President Biden in March, includes several areas of funding that benefit recovery support services including $7.3 million  for the Treatment, Recovery, and Workforce Support (SUPPORT Act) and $3 million to Building Communities of Recovery (BCOR).

According to advocates such as Faces & Voices of Recovery (FAVOR), while a long-requested 10% set-aside for recovery support services was included in the president’s budget request to Congress, that provision did not make it into the final budget bill. Patty McCarthy, Chief Executive Officer, Faces & Voices of Recovery, stated that “Over the last 20 years, our advocacy work has led to substantial increases in federal funding for recovery support services. These increases in federal funding have allowed our communities to build and strengthen programs where it counts–in community-based settings.”
