CADCA is the only national organization that has special expertise and
unique broad, national-level experience in working with community anti-
drug coalitions. For more than 22 years, coalitions and coalition
leadership have turned to CADCA to obtain the assistance they need to

agencies located throughout the federal, state and

local governments, philanthropies, and universities to bring the best
available knowledge, information, and technology to local community
anti-drug coalitions working to prevent and reduce drug use among the
youth of America. CADCA is the only identified organization with the
required experience and national reach to over 5,000 identified anti-
drug coalitions across the country. Significant investments were made
over the years to support this program with outstanding results. CADCA
has long been recognized in communities as well as states throughout
the nation for the technical support it has provided to anti-drug
coalitions. As such, it is uniquely qualified and positioned to carry
out the requirements of this announcement.
