The SPF-PFS-Communities/Tribes program is intended to build prevention capacity throughout communities and tribes and to strengthen the capacity of local community prevention providers.
The purpose of this program is to:
- Help prevent and reduce the initiation and progression of substance use and its related problems by supporting the development and delivery of community-based substance use prevention services that strengthen protective factors, reduce risk factors, build resilience, and promote well-being.
- Expand and strengthen the capacity of state and local community prevention providers serving communities and tribes and implement evidence-based, evidence-informed, and community-defined evidence-based prevention strategies.
With this program, SAMHSA aims to strengthen local-level prevention capacity to identify and address local substance use prevention concerns, such as underage drinking and use of cannabis, tobacco, vaping, opioids, methamphetamine, and other emerging substances of concern, as well as the progression of substance use among youth, young adults, and adults.
Up to $15,500,000 was made available in FY24.
