Overview

  • The Trump administration is preparing to freeze $120 million in federal family-planning grants to Planned Parenthood and other organizations under Title X.
  • The freeze is part of a broader effort to reverse diversity, equity, and inclusion (DEI) initiatives implemented during the Biden administration.
  • The Department of Health and Human Services is reviewing grant recipients for compliance with an executive order signed by Trump on his first day back in office to end federal funding for DEI programs.
  • Title X provides free or discounted health services, such as birth control, STI testing, and cancer screenings, to approximately four million low-income individuals annually through 4,000 clinics nationwide.
  • Planned Parenthood has condemned the funding freeze, warning it would restrict access to critical health services for vulnerable populations.
