Trump FY2027 Budget Proposes $3B for Health Centers — a 54% Cut from $6.5B Enacted in FY2026
The FY2027 budget proposes only $3 billion for Health Centers ($1.8B discretionary + $1.1B mandatory), down from $6.5B enacted in FY2026 (which included the $4.6B Community Health Center Fund). The budget also proposes eliminating HRSA as a standalone agency by consolidating it into the new 'Administration for a Healthy America' (AHA) with a total AHA budget of $17.5B (down $8.6B from component agencies' FY2026 levels).
Health Workforce gets only $1.1B, threatening NHSC loan repayment.
Key takeaways
- 54% proposed cut: $6.5B → $3B for health centers
- HRSA eliminated as standalone agency — merged into 'Administration for a Healthy America'
- NHSC loan repayment threatened by $1.1B Health Workforce budget
