What is it?
The DFCSP has two major goals:

  1. To reduce substance abuse among youth and, over time, among adults by addressing the factors in a community that increase the risk of substance abuse and promoting the factors that minimize the risk of substance abuse. (Substances include, but are not limited to, narcotics, depressants, stimulants, hallucinogens, cannabis, inhalants, alcohol and tobacco, where their use is prohibited by Federal, State or local law.) Note: DFCSP projects must focus on multiple drugs of abuse, including those listed above. When the term "drug" or "substance" is used in this funding announcement, it is intended to include all of the above.

  2. To establish and strengthen collaboration among communities, private nonprofit agencies, and Federal, State, local and tribal governments to support the efforts of community coalitions to prevent and reduce substance abuse among youth.

The objectives of the program include the following:

  • Serve as a catalyst for increased citizen participation and greater collaboration among all sectors of and organizations within a community;
  • Enhance community efforts to promote and deliver effective substance abuse prevention strategies;
  • Assess the effectiveness of community substance abuse prevention initiatives directed toward youth; and
  • Provide information about effective substance abuse prevention initiatives that can be replicated in other communities.
