For FY2025, Lynch requested $2,300,000 for Suffolk County Sheriff’s Department Project Engage to deliver behavioral health care and substance use disorder treatment for criminal-justice-involved individuals with Boston Medical Center.

This is direct evidence that Lynch sought federal funding for behavioral health and substance use disorder treatment in his district, though the page states the Appropriations Committee would decide final selection and amount.

Congress.gov says H.R.4531 passed the House 386-37 on December 12, 2023, then was referred to the Senate HELP Committee; CRS summarizes it as reauthorizing and expanding grants and programs for substance use disorder prevention, treatment, recovery, workforce support, trauma programs, and permanent Medicaid medication-assisted treatment coverage.

This official record shows a concrete federal effort to expand opioid and substance-use treatment programs. Because it passed only the House and did not become law in the 118th Congress, it supports effort and partial progress, not final delivery.
