About CHANT

The Community Health Alliance of North Tonawanda (CHANT) is a community-based coalition that began in 2014 and was awarded federal funding through the Drug-Free Communities (DFC) grant in September of 2017. As a community-based coalition, CHANT works collectively to reduce and prevent North Tonawanda youth from using substances such as alcohol, marijuana,
tobacco products (including e-cigarettes/vapes) and non-prescribed opioids. 

In 2022, the coalition received a Community Coalition Grant from the NYS Office of Addiction Services
and Supports (OASAS). Both grants have allowed CHANT to expand services into
The City of North Tonawanda to help reduce substance use among our community’s youth
and our most vulnerable populations.
 
The current role of CHANT in NT is to assess community needs and resources, analyze problems and goals, develop action plans/interventions to produce change, and increase capacity through participation and membership.
