Trump: ‘Today, My Admin. Is Providing a Record $91 Million to Support the Drug-Free Communities Initiative’

‘Grants will be awarded to more than 730 community groups in all 50 states’

EXCERPT:

TRUMP: "It’s an honor to be here today with community leaders from across our country whose incredible work is helping young Americans live a drug-free life. So important. And I want to congratulate the people in the room. Incredible job. Nothing’s easy, right? Nothing’s easy but you have done an incredible job. Today, my administration is providing a record $91 million to support the drug-free communities initiative. Grants will be awarded to more than 730 community groups in all 50 states — that’s a lot of groups, that’s a lot of people — impacting more communities than ever before. We have never done anything to this extent. We have never done anything this large or where we reached out to so many people, great people. The drug-free communities program is a proven success, cutting alcohol and prescription drug abuse by an average of nearly 20 percent among high school students and participating communities."
