PA-505 Continuum of Care Advancing Recovery by Prohibiting Illicit Drug Enablement Statement

STATEMENT

The Chester County Continuum of Care (CoC) PA-505 recognizes that treatment and recovery services can support housing stability and self-sufficiency. The CoC is committed to fostering housing environments that promote health and safety.

CoC-funded projects will not operate drug injection sites or "safe consumption sites," knowingly distribute drug paraphernalia on or off property under their control, permit the use or distribution of illicit drugs on property under their control, or conduct, permit, encourage, or allow any of these activities under the pretext of "harm reduction." This policy supplements and does not supersede all applicable federal, state, and local laws governing controlled substances.
