Donald Trump’s administration is reversing cuts it made to mental health and addiction programs to the tune of over $2 billion, NPR reports.

Messaging explaining the terminated funding was sent out Tuesday, but letters restoring the funding will be sent out soon.

Both Republicans and Democrats opposed the move, prompting the Department of Health and Human Services to change its decision and restore grant money.

There are over 2,000 organizations and grant recipients to notify of the reversal.
