Purpose

Provides continued funding to current Drug-Free Communities (DFC) Support Program grantees in order to continue program activities over the next budget cycle.

Fosters collaboration among communities, public and private non-profit agencies, and federal, state, local, and tribal governments with experience addressing substance use problems and creating positive community change.

Recipients are required to submit a 12-Month Action Plan for the upcoming fiscal year (FY) detailing the objectives, strategies, and activities they will employ to enhance the capacity of their community coalition and to prevent and reduce youth substance use.

The DFC program is administered jointly by the Office of National Drug Control Policy (ONDCP) and the Centers for Disease Control and Prevention (CDC).
