AGENCY: Substance Abuse and Mental Health Services Administration, HHS.

ACTION: Notice of intent to award a Single Source Grant to the 
Community Anti-Drug Coalitions of America (CADCA).

-----------------------------------------------------------------------

SUMMARY: This notice is to inform the public that the Substance Abuse 
and Mental Health Services Administration (SAMHSA) intends to award 
approximately $625,000 (total costs) per year for up to five years to 
the Community Anti-Drug Coalitions of America (CADCA). This is not a 
formal request for applications. Assistance will be provided only to 
the Community Anti-Drug Coalitions of America (CADCA) based on the 
receipt of a satisfactory application that is approved by an 
independent review group.
    Funding Opportunity Title: SP-09-004.
    Catalog Of Federal Domestic Assistance (CFDA) Number: 93.243.
    Authority: Sections 509, 516 and 520A of the Public Health Service 
Act, as amended.
    Justification: Only the Community Anti-Drug Coalitions of America 
(CADCA) is eligible to apply. The Substance Abuse and Mental Health 
Services Administration (SAMHSA) is seeking to award a single source 
grant to the Community Anti-Drug Coalitions of America (CADCA) to 
leverage existing resources and conference support to expand SAMHSA's 
scope and capacity to provide training and technical assistance to a 
large number of community leaders across the country who are committed 
to substance abuse prevention, substance abuse/addiction treatment and 
recovery support, and substance abuse/addiction-related mental health 
issues.
    The Community Anti-Drug Coalitions of America (CADCA) is uniquely 
qualified to carry out the activities of this program because the 
purpose of the program is to partner with a national organization that 
has special expertise and unique broad, national-level experience in 
working with community anti-drug coalitions. CADCA is the only national 
organization that annually provides training and technical assistance 
through a national leadership conference for thousands of members of 
community coalitions dedicated to preventing substance abuse. CADCA 
currently is the sole organization that plays a major role in helping 
to strengthen and develop the nation's prevention infrastructure of 
anti-drug coalitions in support of on-going activities funded by 
SAMHSA's priority grant programs including: the Substance Abuse 
Prevention and Treatment Block Grant, the Strategic Prevention 
Framework State Incentive Grant, and the Drug Free Communities Support 
Program. CADCA is the only identified organization that currently meets 
this experience level and national reach to over 5,000 identified anti-
drug coalitions across the country. CADCA has long been recognized in 
communities as well as States throughout the nation as the national 
voice for the advocacy and technical support of anti-drug coalitions. 
As such, it is uniquely qualified and positioned to carry out the 
requirements of this announcement.
