This opportunity provides funding to enhance the efforts of community-based coalitions—specifically those that are current or former Drug-Free Communities (DFC) Support Program recipients—in addressing local drug crises involving opioid, methamphetamine, and prescription drug misuse among youth (ages 12–18). The program aims to prevent and reduce substance use and misuse in communities across the United States by supporting coalitions with a demonstrated need and a record of coalition-based prevention activities.
