NC Health and Human Services Department to cut 80 jobs, lose $100 million in federal funding
The North Carolina Department of Health and Human Services’ reductions are due to the federal government’s “abrupt and immediate termination of several federal grants,” a department spokesperson said in a statement.

The cuts are part of the Trump administration cutting $12 billion in federal grants to state health services.

The $100 million North Carolina is losing in funding directly contributes to the “health, safety and wellbeing of the people we serve,” the NCDHHS spokesperson wrote.
Specifically, the federal grant funding impacts several areas of work, including immunization efforts, funding for the new NC Immunization Registry, infectious disease monitoring and response, behavioral health, substance use disorder services and more. Some of the impacted funding supports work that is done by local health departments, universities, hospitals and local departments of social services.
The NCDHHS is also putting impacted vendors on notice to pause work supported by the funding.
