Worcester, Framingham, Fitchburg, Hudson and Hopkinton are among 31 youth substance abuse prevention programs across the state sharing in $3.8 million in new state grants.

The funding, announced Tuesday by the Massachusetts Executive Office of Health and Human Services and the Department of Public Health, is the third in a series of such funding and are set to last through fiscal 2029. The initiative includes community engagement, growing capacity to provide services, implementation of comprehensive strategies, and use of innovation and promising practices, the state said.

Worcester, Fitchburg and Hudson municipal governments will receive funding, as will Hopkinton Youth and Family Services and the Wayside Youth and & Family Support Network in Framingham.
