Cheatham County Community Enhancement Coalition, Inc.

Cheatham County Community Enhancement Coalition, Inc. is a non-profit organization registered in SAM.gov since February 15, 2017, located in Pleasant View, Tennessee. The organization is structured as a corporate entity with tax-exempt status and primarily operates as a community-focused non-profit organization dedicated to addressing substance abuse and community health challenges in Cheatham County and surrounding regions. Its primary function appears to be serving as an administrative and fiscal agent for various substance abuse prevention and intervention programs, with a particular emphasis on community-level strategic prevention and support initiatives.

The organization has consistently received federal grant sub-awards primarily from the Tennessee Department of Mental Health & Substance Abuse Services, with funding originating from the Substance Abuse and Mental Health Services Administration (SAMHSA). Its grant work predominantly focuses on substance abuse prevention, opioid response, and community-level intervention programs. A significant recent award is a $400,000 federal grant for the Cheatham County Recovery Court project, which provides a diversionary program with wraparound services for court-involved citizens with non-violent, drug-related offenses. Previous sub-grant work has included implementing evidence-based prevention programs targeting youth substance use, supporting Regional Overdose Prevention Specialists, conducting naloxone training and distribution, and developing community-level prevention capacity for addressing opioid, stimulant, and prescription drug misuse. The coalition has worked on projects ranging from COVID-19 supplemental prevention efforts to state opioid response initiatives, consistently collaborating with state-level mental health and substance abuse agencies to deliver targeted community intervention services.
