To Our Followers,

As you may know, our program, PRI Health Corps, was one of eight in North Carolina—and among over 1,000 programs nationwide—abruptly terminated by the AmeriCorps Agency.

Background:
The Corporation for National and Community Service (CNCS), which oversees AmeriCorps, issued a mass termination of programs in all 50 states, Washington D.C., Guam, Puerto Rico, and the U.S. Virgin Islands. The notice stated:

“It has been determined that your award no longer effectuates agency priorities. You must immediately cease all award activities. This is a final agency action and is not administratively appealable.”

Approximately 80% of all AmeriCorps State and National (ASN) programs were impacted, with some states seeing complete elimination of their AmeriCorps State programs. This sweeping decision prematurely halted over $400 million in grant funding already allocated for the 2024–2025 program year, and ended service for more than 32,000 AmeriCorps members.

In response, 24 states and the District of Columbia filed suit against the agency and the Trump administration, arguing that the terminations violated the Administrative Procedure Act (APA), which requires public notice and comment before federal grants can be revoked.

On June 5, a federal judge in the U.S. District Court in Maryland ruled that CNCS had indeed violated the APA and ordered the restoration of funding and reinstatement of members in the states and territories named in the lawsuit. The ruling responded to the harm caused to state programs, students, and organizations nationwide—including members of the National College Attainment Network (NCAN).

What This Means for PRI Health Corps
We are pleased to share that our funding has been officially restored as of last week. While the six-week disruption deeply affected our operations, we are moving forward with renewed purpose. Over the next 2½ months, we will do everything we can to fulfill this year’s goals—including harvesting produce from our four wellness gardens and distributing it to the communities we serve. Attached is a photo of our harvest by Nina and Chris, our members serving the The Wellness Garden of Aurora NC.

We are incredibly grateful to everyone who reached out with words of support, resources, and encouragement during this uncertain time. Your solidarity has meant the world to us.

With gratitude,
The PRI Health Corps Team
