Bingaman: New Mexico Anti-Drug Organizations Awarded Federal Funds
WASHINGTON – U.S. Senator Jeff Bingaman today announced that two New Mexico communities will benefit from federal funding aimed at preventing and reducing drug and alcohol abuse among young people.
Organizations in Carlsbad and in Torrance County have been awarded funding through the Office of National Drug Control Policy's Drug Free Communities Support Program (DFC).
| Carlsbad Community Anti-Drug/Gang Coalition | $125,000 |
| Partnership for a Healthy Torrance County (PHTC) Substance Abuse Prevention Task Force | $99,283 |
"These two New Mexico organizations are addressing issues that increase the risk of substance abuse and promoting efforts to minimize the risk of abuse. This funding will be put to good use," Bingaman said.
