RADAR is the acronym for NCHM's renowned Realistic Approaches to Drug & Alcohol Reduction program. Recently updated to reflect changes in admissions and evictions law, RADAR was developed through a collaborative effort, which included NCHM housing professionals, public policy experts, and federal law enforcement agents from the FBI. 1998 Quality Housing and Work Responsibility Act (QHWRA), contains explicit HUD guidelines (Federal Register, May 2001) for site managers at federally assisted housing. RADAR has been updated to address these new requirements. RADAR was developed to assist organizations with drug grants to complete their drug elimination programs, and to strengthen organizations without drug grants to take full advantage of NCHM's RADAR program.

RADAR: Don't wait for your property to become a crisis of drugs, guns, and resident apathy.
