Background & History: This is the 7th year of a 10 year renewal grant for the Drug
Free Communities Support Program. It began in the year 2000 and has brought in over
$700,000 of in-kind services and funds to support the adolescent substance abuse
prevention efforts in the rural communities of Sisters, Redmond and South County. This
program has developed coalitions with which each community has embraced there are
adolescent substance abuse issues in each of their communities and they have
implemented evidence -based strategies in order to reduce use and change community
norms and availability. Through this 7th year of the grant the coalitions have begun
developing sustainability plans to move forward once the grant funding is gone.

Drug Free Communities Support Program- FY 07 Continuation
The Drug -Free Communities Support Program (DFC) is a collaborative effort between the Executive Office
of the President, Office of National Drug Control Policy (ONDCP), and the Substance Abuse and Mental
Health Services Administration (SAMHSA). Grant awards are made available by SAMHSA through an
interagency agreement with the ONDCP. The purpose of the funding is to address two major goals; 1)
Establish and strengthen collaboration among communities, private nonprofit agencies, and Federal, State,
and local and tribal govemments to support the efforts of community coalitions to prevent and reduce
substance abuse among youth; and 2) 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. While responsibility rests with the grantee for
achieving the primary goals of the program, SAMHSA and its designated representatives shall monitor and
provide continuing technical assistance, consultation, and coordination in the conduct of the project during
the funding period. In addition to these terms and conditions and the applicable statutes and regulations,
grantees are bound by the DHHS Grants Policy Statement and all requirements in the initial DFC Program
Announcement.
A. ROLE OF THE GRANTEE:
The grantee adheres to the programmatic and fiscal requirements described in the DFC Program
Announcement as well as to the specific goals and objectives indicated in the approved application. The
grantee is or represents a coalition that is comprised of representatives from at least 12 community sectors
(as listed in the DFC Program Announcement). Grantees/coalitions must have reduction of substance
abuse among youth as a principal mission. The grantee functions as a unique entity and its meeting
minutes must demonstrate that it has substantial involvement and participation from its membership. A
funding plan must be in place or be developed to solicit substantial financial support from non-federal
sources to ensure that it will be self-sustaining when federal assistance is no longer available. The grantee
receives and expends non-federal matching funds. The grantee collects and reports data profiling youth
within the areas it serves as described in the DFC Program Announcement. Participation in a national
evaluation of the DFC is required.
B. ROLE OF THE GOVERNMENT PROJECT OFFICER:

objectives stated in the grantee's application. Site visit(s) are conducted and then reports developed with
corrective action plans and /or technical assistance recommendations. The GPO reviews and evaluates
grantee semi-annual progress reports and requires corrective action and/or makes technical assistance
recommendations. When the GPO finds or is alerted to serious deficiencies in the grantee's performance,
temporary staff intervention is provided to correct or ameliorate the conditions causing or contributing to the
unsatisfactory performance. The GPO ensures compliance with legislative, regulatory and administrative
requirements, and other terms and conditions of the award. Following completion of the project, the GPO
analyzes and evaluates the overall performance of the grantee in relation to its success or failure with
Page -3
respect to achieving the goals and objectives of the grant program.
C. ROLE OF THE GRANTS MANAGEMENT OFFICER:

grant eligibility requirements, and terms and conditions of award. Questions conceming the applicability of
regulations and policies of this grant program, and all required prior approvals such as, requests for

H. ENVIRONMENTAL STRATEGIES
Environmental strategies are strategies aimed at the environment and based on the community systems
perspective that views a community as a set of persons engaged in shared social, cultural, political, and
economic processes. Environmentally based strategies take into account the fact that individuals do not
become involved with substances solely on the basis of personal characteristics. Rather they are powerfully
influenced by a complex set of factors in the environment, such as the rules and regulations of the social
institutions to which they belong, the norms of the communities in which they live, the mass media
messages to which they are exposed, and the accessibility of alcohol, tobacco and illicit drugs. Because
substance abuse is viewed as a product of the overall system, effective prevention requires making
appropriate modifications to the community at large. The purposes of environmental strategies are to (1)
limit access to substances, (2) change the culture and contexts within which decisions about substance use
are made, or (3) reduce the negative consequences associated with use." (Center for Substance Abuse
Prevention. Environmental Prevention Strategies: Putting Theory Into Practice (Training and Resource
Guide). Rockville, MD, 1999.)
By focusing Federal funds on these environmental strategies, it is more likely that grantees will achieve
lasting positive environmental change within their community. While grantees may use funds for direct
services, the primary focus of the grant is on coalition development to bring about environmental change
that prevents substance abuse at the community level. Grantees should primarily utilize local funds and in-
kind match to support direct services. In so doing, grantees create a sense of ownership of those services
within the community that will thrive beyond Federal funding.
