SUPPLEMENTARY INFORMATION: The Drug-Free Communities Support Program
was established by the Drug-Free Communities Act of 1997 (Pub. L. 105-
20). On December 14, 2001, Pub. L. 107-82 reauthorized the program for
5 years. The program is designed to strengthen community antidrug
coalitions and reduce substance abuse among youth.
Grantees will receive up to $100,000 in funding and training and
technical assistance to reduce substance abuse among youth by
addressing the factors in a community that serve to increase or
decrease the risk of substance abuse and establish and strengthen
collaboration among communities, including Federal, State, local, and
tribal governments and private nonprofit agencies to support community
coalition efforts to prevent and reduce substance abuse among youth.
Eligible applicants are community coalitions whose members have
worked together on substance abuse reduction initiatives for a period
of not less than 6 months. The coalition will use entities such as task
forces, subcommittees, community boards, and any other community
resources that will enhance the coalition's collaborative efforts. With
substantial participation from community volunteer leaders, the
coalition will implement multisector, multistrategy, long-term plans
designed to reduce substance abuse among youth. Coalitions may be
umbrella coalitions serving multicounty areas.
