Jon, from the AP article you posted:
“They were never a part of the kit,” said Psaki. “It was inaccurate reporting and we wanted to put out information to make that clear.”
Then the second to last paragraph:
Homemade pipes for smoking crack and methamphetamine may break easily or also release toxic fumes. Because of that, safer pipes may be one of the components of the kits.
It's pretty clear that they were originally eligible under the grant proposal. Clean syringes still are. It's another bumbling self-inflicted wound by the administration over a trivial amount of money that's practically a rounding error in the federal budget. But they're the ones who proposed it in the first place and for that, opened themselves up to a broadside from the right.
