What critics are saying
- SAMHSA funding concentration is stark: 2026 awards show $1.8 million tied to NorthKey.
- NorthKey’s crisis infrastructure depends on public grants; federal cuts would force service shrinkage.
- If 988 or 859-GET-HELP fails, NorthKey loses its front door and regional relevance.
