The USRA Municipal Alliance is a newly formed coalition awarded a grant to educate and create awareness in our community. We are a partnership between Upper Saddle River and Allendale, New Jersey.
We’ve recognized that local problems need local solutions. Our goal is to protect our youth from substance abuse, create awareness in the community, prevent youth violence, and encourage safety.
Learning and working with other local coalitions, our intent is to make Upper Saddle River and Allendale safe and drug-free. The goal is to expand our programming to Ho-Ho-Kus and Saddle River.
