Since 2015, the coalition received federal funding from a CDC-managed grant program called the Drug Free Communities Support Program. Since the grant only allows a maximum of 10 years’ worth of funding, KSAAT will now operate as Communities Coming Together, a committee under the Knox Health Planning Partnership (KHPP). In 1997, the Drug Free Communities Act created the Drug Free Communities Support Program. “The grant program, managed through the CDC, provides community coalitions across America funding for up to 10 years,” Tina Cockrell, KSAAT’s Drug Free Communities Grant Coordinator, said. KSAAT, under the KHPP, opens the door for substance use prevention strategies to coincide with the Community Health Improvement Plan.
