Overview

Up to $1.8 million is available to support a substance use/misuse prevention-focused community coalition to implement environmental strategies to reduce underage and binge alcohol and/or heavy cannabis use.

An award of up to $150,000 annually will be made in each of the counties of Queens, Kings, Bronx and Richmond for a total funding of up to $450,000 per coalition. Actual funding for years two and three will be contingent on program implementation and milestone completion by the coalition.
