COMMUNITY OVERVIEW Project Name: C5-Rural The C5-Rural program serves a rural youth population in four counties located in North Central Illinois. C5-Rural has a strong and growing relationship with youth in the counties served. Youth and adults are actively involved in activities to reduce the use of substances by youth, especially alcohol and marijuana. Recreational use of marijuana by adults was legalized in Illinois on January 1, 2020. Population to be served: The coalition serves residents of LaSalle, Bureau, Putnam and Marshall Counties, Illinois. The counties have 162,271 residents covering 2,593 mi2, with a density of 70 ppl per mi2 (national: 91; IL:232). These are HPSAs in substance abuse/mental health treatment, with 78 providers per 100K (national: 203; IL: 208). All of the counties are designated as rural except for Marshall which is located in the Peoria Metropolitan Statistical Area. Marshall county has only 11,400 residents residing in 399mi2 . Project goals and measurable objectives Goal One: Increase community collaboration. Objective 1: Expand the Coalition membership by 15% and increase the capacity and active participation of Coalition members by September 29, 2021. Capacity (SPF) Goal Two: Reduce youth alcohol abuse. Objective 1: Increase the knowledge of 25% of students, 50% of school personnel, 10% of parents, and 5% of community members in relation to alcohol abuse issues, risks and prevention – resulting in a 5% decrease in incidents involving youth and alcohol among 8th and 12th graders with school officials and law enforcement.
