The Centers for Disease Control and Prevention awarded La Youth Advisors (doing business as Livingston Parish SADD) $125,000 on July 1, 2026, under the Drug-Free Communities Support Program Grants (CFDA 93.276), a Project Grant that runs through June 30, 2031. The award funds a community coalition effort to prevent and reduce youth substance use in Livingston Parish, Louisiana, targeting alcohol, nicotine (including e-cigarettes), and marijuana. Livingston Parish youth report substantially elevated past 30-day use rates compared to statewide peers: 30.8% of 10th graders reported alcohol use versus 12.4% statewide; 40.7% of 12th graders reported alcohol use versus 19.3% statewide; and 51.9% of 12th graders reported nicotine use versus 33% statewide. Marijuana use also exceeds state averages across grades. Contributing factors include permissive adult norms, social hosting practices, retail access to tobacco products (12% of retailers failed Synar compliance checks), limited after-school supervision due to long commute patterns, and constrained mental health provider capacity. School impacts have been severe, with THC-related expulsions increasing from 57 students in 2020–2021 to more than 100 in 2022–2023. The coalition must demonstrate at least 6 months of prior collaboration on substance abuse reduction, meet composition requirements, ensure substantial community volunteer effort, and provide a 100–150 percent cash or in-kind match.
