The White House Office of National Drug Control Policy (ONDCP) directs the Drug-Free Communities Support Program in partnership with the Substance Abuse and Mental Health Services Administration. This anti-drug program provides grants of up to $100,000 to community coalitions that mobilize their communities to prevent youth alcohol, tobacco, illicit drug, and inhalant abuse.

The primary goals of this program are:

Reduce substance abuse among youth.
Establish and strengthen collaboration among communities, nonprofit organizations, and governmental organizations.
Increase the number of youth who feel connected to their families, schools and communities.
