SPF-PFS-Communities/Tribes Program

This program funds community-based substance use prevention services designed to interrupt the initiation and progression of substance misuse across diverse populations. The initiative targets the strengthening of protective factors and reduction of risk factors through evidence-based and community-defined prevention strategies. Funded projects will build resilience and promote well-being while simultaneously expanding the organizational capacity of prevention providers—including those serving tribal nations and underserved communities—to implement and sustain these interventions. The program emphasizes a public health approach that addresses both individual and environmental determinants of substance use initiation and escalation.
