Bipartisan Senate Letter Supports DFC Program Funding  

CADCA is continuing our advocacy throughout the FY 2027 appropriations process. On April 13, 28 members of the Senate signed onto a bipartisan letter led by Senators Chuck Grassley (R-IA) and Jeanne Shaheen (D-NH). The letter, addressed to the appropriations committee, advocated for funding of the Drug-Free Communities (DFC) Program at the highest possible level, but not below the current level of $109 million. We are very grateful to all members of the CADCA community who reached out to their Senators to ask for their signature on the letter.
