Recent
data have shown increases in overdose deaths among young people in addition to
challenges such as mental health and connectedness. Communities can act on
these issues and others by applying for funding through the Drug-Free
Communities (DFC) Support Program. Some DFC coalitions choose to target
tobacco/nicotine use among youth with the funding they receive.
The DFC Program is the nation’s leading effort to mobilize communities to
prevent youth substance use. Joining this program provides community-based
coalitions with $125,000 per year for up to 10 years to promote positive youth
engagement and address the local conditions that drive youth substance use.
The White House Office of National Drug Control Policy (ONDCP) directs and
administers the program, in collaboration with the CDC, and the
Community-Anti-Drug Coalitions of America (CADCA).
CDC anticipates releasing a notice of funding opportunity (NOFO) in January
2023. Learn more about eligibility requirements at this link: Apply
