Congressman Nick Langworthy said nine Drug-Free Communities grants for organizations aimed at preventing youth substance use in his Congressional District, which includes Schuyler and Steuben counties.
The Drug-Free Communities (DFC) Support Program funds community-based coalitions that engage multiple sectors of the community to prevent youth substance use. This program provides grants of up to $125,000 per year for five years to community coalitions to strengthen the infrastructure among local partners to create and sustain a reduction in local youth substance use. Grant recipients will be notified of amounts and other details directly from the Biden Administration.
In Schuyler County, a grant will be awarded to the Schuyler County Coalition on Underage Drinking and Drugs, while In Steuben County, the grant will be awarded to Steuben Prevention Coalition in Bath.
