U.S. Senators Joe Manchin (D-WV) and Shelley Moore Capito (R-WV), members of the Senate Appropriations Committee, today announced $3,363,003 from the U.S. Department of Health and Human Services (HHS) to combat children and youth homelessness and help families affected by the opioid crisis in West Virginia.\r\nThere are more than 10,500 homeless children and youth in West Virginia. This is an unfortunate and unacceptable issue we are facing. Ensuring that our children have a safe, stable and comfortable place to sleep at night is essential to their wellbeing and if they don't have a place to sleep, they can't learn. West Virginia also has the highest overdose rate per capita of any state in our nation, and the impacts of this epidemic can be felt in every family, every community and every part of our state. Addressing family stability is an important step in understanding and solving the opioid crisis. As a member of the Senate Appropriations Committee, I will continue to fight for funding that helps children and families affected by the opioid crisis in West Virginia, Senator Manchin said.\r\nIt is critical all of West Virginia's children  especially those who are homeless  receive the care and services they need. Getting kids off the streets and into stable living means giving these kids a chance at a better life. West Virginians always take care of their own, and providing these kids with a safe place to sleep is an important first step, said Senator Capito. Additionally, the opioid crisis' influence on families across West Virginia is undeniable. By supporting services that help support healthy families, we're helping those affected by the opioid crisis get back on track to a stabile family unit.\r\nIndividual awards are listed below:\r\n \r\n$2,650,000  Prestera Center for Mental Health Services, Inc.\r\n$403,985  West Virginia Department of Health & Human Resources\r\n$160,000  Youth Services System, Inc.\r\n$149,018  Cabell-Huntington Coalition for the Homeless\r\n \n\t\t\t\n\t\t\t\n\t\t\t\n\t\t\n\t\t\n\t\n\t  \n\n\t\n\t\n\t\n\t\n\t \n\t\t\n\t\t\tPrint\n\t\t\n\t\t\n\t\t\t\n\t\t\tEmail\n\t\t\n\t\t\n\t\t\t\n\t\t\t\t\n\t\t\t\n\t\t\n\t\t\n\t\t\n\t\t\t\n\t\t\t\tTweet\n\t\t\t\n\t\t\n\t \n\t\n\t\n\n\t\n\t\n\t\n\t\n\t\n    \n\t\n\t\n    \n    \n    \n    \t\n    \t\n\t    \t  \n\t\t    \n\t\t    \tNext Article\n\t\t    \n\t\t    \n\t\t    \tPrevious Article", 1, "2026-03-30T12:14:52Z", "2026-03-30T12:14:52Z"]], "columns": ["url", "title", "date", "year", "month", "party", "chamber", "state", "member_name", "bioguide_id", "domain", "scraper", "source", "date_source", "text", "has_text", "collected_at", "updated_at"], "primary_keys": ["url"], "primary_key_values": ["https://www.manchin.senate.gov/newsroom/press-releases/manchin-capito-announce-more-than-3-millions-to-combat-children-and-youth-homelessness-in-west-virginia"], "units": {}, "query_ms": 1.52296619489789, "source": "dwillis/congress-press", "source_url": "https://github.com/dwillis/congress-press", "license": "MIT", "license_url": "https://github.com/dwillis/congress-press/blob/main/LICENSE"}
