JUSTICE
DEPARTMENT ANNOUNCES $45.5 MILLION
TO SUPPORT
DRUG-FREE COMMUNITIES IN FY 2002
WASHINGTON, D.C. -- The Justice Department? is awarding $45.5 million in grants to fund new and continuation
awards for drug-free coalitions across the nation. The 70 new matching grant
awards totaling $6.8 million are administered by the Office of Justice
Programs? (OJP) Office of Juvenile Justice and Delinquency Prevention (OJJDP)
through the Drug-Free Communities Support Program.? The additional $38.7 million supports the continuation of grant
awards to 462 community coalition projects operating in all 50 states, the
District of Columbia, Puerto Rico, and the U.S. Virgin Islands.? The White House Office of National Drug
Control Policy (ONDCP) oversees the comprehensive program involving youth,
parents, business and media representatives, school officials, law enforcement,
civic, volunteer, and fraternal groups, healthcare professionals and religious
organizations.??
?The majority of persons who come into
contact with the criminal justice system, regardless of the offense, are
substance abusers,? said Deborah J. Daniels, Assistant Attorney General for the
Office of Justice Programs.?? ?Over the
past five years, the Office of Justice Programs and ONDCP have worked closely
with local communities to break the cycle of substance abuse and crime by implementing
multiple prevention approaches.? We look
forward to continued commitment in this important arena. ?
The new sites were selected through a
competitive review process from a pool of 448 applicants.? Over 50 percent of the awards are being made
to rural communities and nearly half are being awarded to economically
disadvantaged communities. Awards range from $61,989 to $100,000 for use over
the next year, and grantees may apply for continuation awards.? ?The new coalition sites will be a welcome
addition to our national prevention effort, said J. Robert Flores,
Administrator of OJJDP.? ?They represent
an organized and essential mechanism for key segments of every community to
actively reduce substance abuse where they live and work.?
Award amounts and contact information for the
new grantees is attached.? Individual
project summaries are available for each grant award on OJJDP?s Web site at www.ojjdp.ncjrs.org.
For more information on the Office of Justice Programs, see the OJP Web
site at? www.ojp.usdoj.gov.? Media should contact OJP?s Office of
Congressional and Public Affairs at 202-307-0703.
