| 00-4623 | Drug-Free Communities Support Program | Notice | Notice is hereby given that the Executive Office of the President, Office of National Drug Control Policy (ONDCP), and the Department of Justice, Office of Juvenile Justice and Delinquency Prevention (OJJDP), pursuant to the provisions of the Drug-Free Communities Act of 1997, June 27, 1997 (Public Law 105-20), are collaborating through the Drug-Free Communities Support Program to reduce substance abuse among youth and, over time, among adults, by addressing the factors in a community that serve to increase the risk of substance abuse and the factors that serve to minimize 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. This will be achieved through (1) serving as a catalyst for increased citizen participation and greater collaboration among all sectors and organizations of a community; (2) enhancing community efforts to promote and deliver effective substance abuse prevention strategies among multiple sectors of the community; (3) assessing the effectiveness of community substance abuse reduction initiatives directed toward youth; and (4) providing information about effective substance abuse reduction initiatives for youth that can be replicated in other communities. 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 effort. With substantial participation from community volunteer leaders, the coalition will design substance abuse initiatives that target illegal drugs such as narcotics, depressants, stimulants, hallucinogens, cannabis, inhalants, alcohol, tobacco, or other related products that are prohibited by Federal, State, or local law. Community coalitions must implement multisector, multistrategy, long-term plans designed to reduce substance abuse among youth. Where applicable, proposed Drug- Free Communities Support Program activities should enhance ongoing plans and contribute to the achievement of long-range goals and objectives. Coalitions may be umbrella coalitions serving multicounty areas. However, no statewide grants will be awarded. The Drug-Free Communities Act authorizes the following amounts to be appropriated to ONDCP for the Drug-Free Communities Support Program: FY 1998--$10 million; FY 1999-- $20 million; FY 2000--$30 million; FY 2001--$40 million; and FY 2002--$43.5 million. In FY 2000, the Drug- Free Communities Support Program will provide an estimated $28.8 million to support community coalitions with an additional $1.2 million supporting administrative costs. The FY 2000 appropriation will provide continuation funding of up to approximately $19.9 million for existing grantees. The remaining funds, approximately $8.9 million, will fund an estimated 90 new coalitions with awards of up to $100,000. These awards will be made available through a competitive grant process, to be administered by OJJDP through an interagency agreement with ONDCP. | 2000-02-29 | 2000 | 2 | https://www.federalregister.gov/documents/2000/02/29/00-4623/drug-free-communities-support-program | https://www.govinfo.gov/content/pkg/FR-2000-02-29/pdf/00-4623.pdf | Executive Office of the President; Office of National Drug Control Policy; Justice Department; Juvenile Justice and Delinquency Prevention Office | 538,390,268,270 | Notice is hereby given that the Executive Office of the President, Office of National Drug Control Policy (ONDCP), and the Department of Justice, Office of Juvenile Justice and Delinquency Prevention (OJJDP), pursuant to the provisions of the Drug-Free... |
