Prevention

Drug-Free Communities

The DFC grant is the nation’s leading effort to mobilize communities to prevent and reduce substance use among youth. This grant is awarded to communities to help set the expectation that communities work to find local solutions to local problems in order to prevent or reduce youth substance use. This work is done by establishing and maintaining collaboration through public and private nonprofits agencies and all government to support the efforts of the coalition working to prevent and reduce youth substance use.
