What's CITY Talking About?

Sundance Departure BTS

Utah’s Title X Funding Freeze
The Trump administration has frozen Title X funding in Utah, as confirmed by Planned Parenthood of Utah, the state's only Title X recipient since 1985. Those federal dollars supported free or extremely affordable family planning services for low-income Utahns. A spokesperson for the organization said, "While we consider all the legal options available, we will not be making any operational changes." [Hey Salt Lake]
