The Jay County Commissioners have designated Jay County Drug Prevention Coalition as the Local Coordinating Council (LCC) to review potential grants and award these grants from the Jay County Alcohol and Drug Countermeasures Fund. 

The mission of the Jay County Drug Prevention Coalition (JCDPC) is to “to promote best practices among youth and adults to reduce the illegal use and abuse of alcohol, tobacco, and other drugs in Jay County."

To this end, JCDPC seeks to provide funding to those alcohol and drug initiatives in Jay County that address identified priority issues in the areas of prevention, treatment, and justice/enforcement.  The dollars from this fund must be distributed as follows:

  1. At least 25% for prevention; 
  2. At least 25% for intervention/treatment; 
  3. At least 25% for criminal justice services and activities; 
  4. 25% for flexible distribution in the above categories or administrative costs. 

To comply with guidelines set forth by the Governor’s Commission for a Drug Free Indiana, members of JCDPC have identified two problem statements and objectives which affect Jay County.  Agencies or programs targeting these issues in Jay County are eligible to apply for funding. 

The grant request must meet at least one objective identified below. Each grant request must also comply with the Indiana Code 5-2-11 definition of prevention, criminal justice services and activities, and intervention (below).     Grant requests that do not meet these requirements will not be considered for funding.  Priority for funding will be given to evidence-based programs.  Please review the definitions, problem statements and objectives to determine the eligibility of your request.  

According to Indiana Code 5-2-11 the three program areas of the Drug and Alcohol Countermeasures Fund are defined as the following:
   
1) “Prevention” is defined as the anticipatory process that prepares and supports an individual and programs with the creation and reinforcement of healthy behaviors and lifestyles.
  
2)  “Criminal justice services and activities” means programs that assist:
        (1) law enforcement agencies;
        (2) courts;
        (3) correctional facilities;
        (4) programs that offer probation services; and
        (5) community corrections programs; with individuals who have alcohol or drug addictions     
and who are suspected of having committed a felony or misdemeanor, have been charged with a felony or misdemeanor, or have been convicted of a felony or misdemeanor.
3) “Intervention” means:
        (1) activities performed to identify persons in need of addiction treatment services; and
