About CHANT
The Community Health Alliance of North Tonawanda (CHANT) is a community-based coalition that began in 2014 and funded by the federal Drug-Free Communities 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, heroin, cigarettes, vaping and non-prescribed opioids.
In 2022, the coalition also recieved 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, and develop an action plan / interventions to produce change, and increase capacity through participation and membership.
