Request for Applications: Law Enforcement Assistance Funds (LEAF)

The Office of Behavioral Health (OBH) announces a Request for Applications for Law Enforcement Assistance Funds (LEAF) prevention programs related to impaired driving. The funds are designated for fiscal year 2014-2015 which begins on July 1, 2014. Please review the documents and be aware of important deadlines as well as the OBH contact to answer any questions.

The purpose of program grants is to increase the capacity for comprehensive impaired driving education related to alcohol as well as other drugs. Prevention programs at the local level utilizing evidence-based strategies to effect change should reduce the number of incidents involving impaired driving or choosing to ride with someone who is impaired. This initiative is specifically targeted to public health, social service, educational or law enforcement agencies or their designees who participate in a community-based prevention coalition.
