Drug Free Communities Support Program National Evaluation

ONDCP, the lead agency for setting U.S. drug control policy and strategy, provides funding through the DFC Program to build community capacity for preventing and reducing substance abuse among our nation’s youth. ONDCP directs the DFC Program. The current package reflects a request for revisions to the 2015 previously approved collection pertaining to the Drug Free Communities Support Program (DFC). DFC was created by the Drug Free Communities Act of 1997 (Public Law 105-20), reauthorized through the Drug Free Communities Reauthorization Act of 2001 (Public Law 107-82), and reauthorized again through the Office of National Drug Control Policy Reauthorization Act of 2006 (Public Law 109-469). The latest reauthorization extended the program for an additional five years until 2019. The DFC authorizing statute (21 USC §1521–1032) provides that community-based coalitions addressing youth substance use can receive Federal grant funds and that the amount of each DFC grant award shall not exceed $125,000 annually.
