This is a report, put together by NORC for the Office of the Assistant Secretary for Planning and Evaluation (ASPE), that examines the long-term sustainability and impact of community coalitions that were funded by the Community Access Program (CAP) and its successor, the Healthy Communities Access Program (HCAP), which amounted to $525 million in grants from 2000 to 2006.

Within this document, community coalition characteristics that predict sustainability are discussed. Though the coalitions analyzed did not only represent substance misuse programs, the findings may be generalizable to opioid coalitions and task forces.
