On April 3, the Administration released several documents as part of the fiscal year 2027 (FY27) President’s Budget Request, which outlines the Administration’s funding priorities for the upcoming fiscal year. As a reminder, these documents are non-binding, and Congress has the authority to approve, reject, or modify the Administration’s budget recommendations.
The budget documents request $111.1 billion for the Department of Health and Human Services (HHS), a $15.8 billion decrease from enacted FY26 levels. Further, similar to the FY26 request, the documents propose to move the Health Resources Services Administration (HRSA), the Substance Abuse and Mental Health Services Administration (SAMHSA), the Office of the Assistant Secretary for Health (OASH), and select programs from the Centers for Disease Control and Prevention (CDC) into a newly forming Administration for a Healthy America (AHA).
For additional information, please refer to these select FY27 President’s Budget documents:

- FY27 AHA Congressional Justification (CJ; includes funding for current HRSA, SAMHSA, OASH, select CDC initiatives)
