The Family and Youth Services Bureau of the Administration on Children, Youth and Families is publishing final program priorities and announcing the availability of funds for: 1. The Basic Center Program for Runaway and Homeless Youth (BCP). The purpose of the BCP is to provide financial assistance to establish or strengthen locally-controlled centers that address the immediate needs (outreach, temporary shelter, food, clothing, counseling, aftercare, and related services) of runaway and homeless youth and their families. 2. Transitional Living Program for Homeless Youth. The overall purpose of the Transitional Living Program for Homeless Youth is to support programs which assist older homeless youth in making a successful transition to self-sufficient living and to prevent long- term dependency on social services. This single announcement for the two programs has been developed in order to save the field and the Federal government significant resources. Also, the single announcement provides the field with the application due dates for both programs, providing interested agencies the means to forecast the workload and resources needed to apply for these grants. Potential applicants should note that separate applications must be submitted for each program applied for. This announcement contains all the necessary information and application materials to apply for funds under these grant programs. The estimated funds available for new starts and the approximate number of new grants that have been or are to be awarded under this program announcement are as follows:
