Confronting Rising Substance Abuse During COVID, Balderson and Bipartisan Group Unveil Legislation Focused on Community Solutions
Washington,
July 15, 2020
WASHINGTON – In an effort to tackle a rise in substance abuse during the COVID-19 pandemic, Congressman Troy Balderson (R-OH) and a bipartisan group of more than 30 lawmakers have introduced the Drug-Free Communities Pandemic Relief Act. The legislation would provide temporary flexibility for the Drug Free Communities (DFC) Support Program during the pandemic year by enabling Office of National Drug Control Policy (ONDCP) to waive the community match requirement for grantees to receive federal dollars if the community partners are unable to raise the funds due to the ongoing COVID-19 pandemic. |
