CDC Project Description:

The Preventive Health and Health Services (PHHS) Block Grant Program allows recipients to address their own unique public health needs and challenges with evidence based, innovative and community-driven methods. Recipients set their own goals and program objectives to address local priorities.

CDC Project Purposes:

As part of the overall effort to reduce the burden of disease and associated risk factors, and to build, improve, and sustain associated public health infrastructure, the Preventive Health and Health Services Block Grant provides resources to support prioritized public health objectives.

The grant is used to fill funding gaps in programs that deal with leading causes of death and disabilities and provides the ability to respond rapidly to emerging health issues while supporting agency-wide priorities that are also important to state, tribal, local, and territorial health departments.

• Purchase of naloxone

• Purchase of syringes

• Drug disposal programs (drop-boxes, bags, or other devices, and/or take-back events) are not permissible.

Funds cannot be used for the preparation, distribution, or use of any material

(publicity/propaganda) or to pay the salary or expenses of grants, contract recipients, or agents that aim to support or defeat the enactment of legislation, regulation, administrative action, or executive order proposed or pending before a legislative body, beyond normal, recognized executive relationships.
