Section 1535 of chapter 20 of the National Drug Control Program (21 U.S.C. chapter 20 subchapter II) is amended— by adding subsection 1536 and inserting the following: The Attorney General, in coordination with the Director of the Office of National Drug Control Policy, may make grants to eligible entities to implement comprehensive community-wide strategies that address local drug crises within the area served by the eligible entity. . An eligible entity desiring a grant under this section shall submit an application to the Attorney General at such time, in such manner, and accompanied by such information as the Attorney General may require.
As part of an application for a grant under this section, the Attorney General shall require an eligible entity to submit a detailed, comprehensive, multisector plan for addressing the local drug crisis within the area served by the eligible entity. An eligible entity shall use a grant received under this section— for programs designed to implement comprehensive communitywide prevention strategies to address local drug crisis in the area served by the eligible entity, in accordance with the plan submitted under subsection (c)(2); and to obtain specialized training and technical assistance from the organization funded under section 4 of Public Law 107–82 ( 21 U.S.C. 1521 note).
The Attorney General may not award a grant under this section for a fiscal year in an amount that exceeds— the amount of non-Federal funds raised by the eligible entity, including in-kind contributions, for that fiscal year; or $75,000. The Attorney General shall award grants under this section for a period not to exceed 4 years. An eligible entity shall use Federal funds received under this section only to supplement the funds that would, in the absence of those Federal funds, be made available from other Federal and non-Federal sources for the activities described in this section, and not to supplant those funds.
A grant under this section shall be subject to the same evaluation requirements and procedures as the evaluation requirements and procedures imposed on the recipient of a grant under the Drug-Free Communities Act of 1997. Not more than 8 percent of the amounts made available pursuant to subsection
