Colorado will lose hundreds of millions in federal funding this year.
The Trump administration is canceling $230 million in federal grants that funded several Colorado health programs, including programs to track COVID-19, provide vaccine outreach, and help Coloradans experiencing behavioral and mental health challenges. The federal government distributed the money to states as part of its COVID-19 response.
The U.S. Department of Health and Human Services (HHS) said the money is being wasted and the administration is taking the funding back.
