Legislative History
Since its founding in 1992, CADCA has been at the forefront of advancing prevention policy and funding, cementing its role as the nation’s leading voice for community-based prevention. CADCA has been instrumental in shaping key federal initiatives, increasing resources, and strengthening the prevention field to ensure coalitions can thrive and make a meaningful impact.
Our efforts led to the establishment of the Drug-Free Communities (DFC) Support Program through the landmark Drug-Free Communities Act of 1997, a groundbreaking achievement that now funds thousands of community coalitions across the country to prevent youth substance use. CADCA’s leadership also helped secure the creation of the National Coalition Institute (NCI) through the DFC Reauthorization Act of 2001, which provides critical training, technical assistance, and evaluation support to DFC grantees and other coalitions.
ONDCP Reauthorization Act: reauthorized and strengthened the DFC Program, ensuring stable funding for prevention coalitions.
Substance Use-Disorder Prevention that Promotes Opioid Recovery and Treatment (SUPPORT) for Patients and Communities Act: secured opioid-specific prevention funding and emphasized the importance of comprehensive community-based prevention strategies.
ONDCP Reauthorization Act (as part of the SUPPORT Act): continued DFC funding and authorized new initiatives to support prevention efforts in communities nationwide.
CADCA has also been a relentless champion for appropriations increases, working with key policymakers to grow and protect prevention funding within the federal budget each year.
Through these efforts, and many more, CADCA has solidified its position as the trusted leader in prevention. Today, we continue to lead the charge on Capitol Hill and beyond, empowering coalitions with the resources, support, and training they need to build healthier, safer, and stronger communities across the country and around the world.
