This federal Project Grant award of $120,000.00, awarded on September 30, 2024 by the Substance Abuse and Mental Health Services Administration (SAMHSA) under the Substance Abuse and Mental Health Services Projects of Regional and National Significance (CFDA 93.243) program, will enhance the current Drug-Free Communities project implemented by the Naugatuck Youth Services, Inc. in Naugatuck, Connecticut. The grant will build the capacity of the local prevention coalition, STEP UP NAUGY STOP 2024 (SUN), to reduce youth alcohol use and related harms among the 1,923 students in grades 7-12 in the community. Key activities include providing trainings, expanding coalition membership, engaging underserved groups, translating prevention materials, and negotiating funding from cannabis sales revenue. The project aims to decrease youth access to alcohol, shift community norms, and strengthen partnerships to ultimately reduce underage drinking rates in Naugatuck over the four-year project period.
