The National League of Cities (NLC) is the voice of the nation’s more than 19,000 cities, towns, and villages to the President, Administration, and Congress. For a century, NLC has worked to represent local interests at the national level on issues related to substance use, mental health, supporting early childcare systems and more that create healthy, thriving communities. We look forward to continuing the local-federal partnership with the U.S. Department of Health and Human Services (HHS) during the Trump-Vance Administration.
