Sec. 13742. Ounce of prevention grant program


(a) In general

    The Council may make grants for--
        (1) summer and after-school (including weekend and holiday) 
    education and recreation programs;
        (2) mentoring, tutoring, and other programs involving 
    participation by adult role models (such as D.A.R.E. America);
        (3) programs assisting and promoting employability and job 
    placement; and
        (4) prevention and treatment programs to reduce substance abuse, 
    child abuse, and adolescent pregnancy, including outreach programs 
    for at-risk families.

(b) Applicants

    Applicants may be Indian tribal governments, cities, counties, or 
other municipalities, school boards, colleges and universities, private 
nonprofit entities, or consortia of eligible applicants. Applicants must 
show that a planning process has occurred that has involved 
organizations, institutions, and residents of target areas, including 
young people, and that there has been cooperation between neighborhood-
based entities, municipality-wide bodies, and local private-sector 
representatives. Applicants must demonstrate the substantial involvement 
of neighborhood-based entities in the carrying out of the proposed 
activities. Proposals must demonstrate that a broad base of 
collaboration and coordination will occur in the implementation of the 
proposed activities, involving cooperation among youth-serving 
organizations, schools, health and social service providers, employers, 
law enforcement professionals, local government, and residents of target 
areas, including young people. Applications shall be geographically 
based in particular neighborhoods or sections of municipalities or 
particular segments of rural areas, and applications shall demonstrate 
how programs will serve substantial proportions of children and youth 
resident in the target area with activities designed to have substantial 
impact on their lives.

(c) Priority

    In making such grants, the Council shall give preference to 
coalitions consisting of a broad spectrum of community-based and social 
service organizations that have a coordinated team approach to reducing 
gang membership and the effects of substance abuse, and providing 
alternatives to at-risk youth.

(d) Federal share

                           (1) In general

        The Federal share of a grant made under this part \1\ may not 
    exceed 75 percent of the total costs of the projects described in 
    the applications submitted under subsection (b) of this section for 
    the fiscal year for which the projects receive assistance under this 
    subchapter.

                             (2) Waiver

        The Council may waive the 25 percent matching requirement under 
    paragraph (1) upon making a determination that a waiver is equitable 
    in view of the financial circumstances affecting the ability of the 
    applicant to meet that requirement.

                        (3) Non-Federal share

        The non-Federal share of such costs may be in cash or in kind, 
    fairly evaluated, including plant, equipment, and services.

                   (4) Nonsupplanting requirement

        Funds made available under this subchapter to a governmental 
    entity shall not be used to supplant State or local funds, or in the 
    case of Indian tribal governments, funds supplied by the Bureau of 
    Indian Affairs, but shall be used to increase the amount of funds 
    that would, in the absence of Federal funds received under this 
    subchapter, be made available from State or local sources, or in the 
    case of Indian tribal governments, from funds supplied by the Bureau 
    of Indian Affairs.

                           (5) Evaluation

        The Council shall conduct a thorough evaluation of the programs 
    assisted under this subchapter.
