Drug Free Communities (DFC)

The Drug-Free Communities (DFC) program is a federal initiative that supports community-led efforts to reduce youth substance use, including alcohol, tobacco, and illicit drugs. It provides funding and resources to local coalitions of organizations, schools, families, and businesses working together to create prevention strategies, raise awareness, and promote healthy choices. The goal is to strengthen community norms against drug use among young people, improve collaboration, and ultimately help youth lead healthier, drug-free lives.
