Opportunity Information: Apply for HHS 2018 ACF ACYF CY 1354
The Basic Center Program (BCP) is a discretionary grant opportunity from the U.S. Department of Health and Human Services (HHS), Administration for Children and Families (ACF), specifically through the Administration on Children, Youth and Families (ACYF) and its Family and Youth Services Bureau (FYSB). The program is designed to establish or strengthen community-based services that respond to the urgent, short-term needs of runaway and homeless youth up to age 18, while also engaging families when reunification is safe and appropriate. In practical terms, the BCP funds local providers that can stabilize a young person in crisis and reduce the likelihood that they end up pulled deeper into law enforcement, child welfare, mental health, or juvenile justice systems.
At the core of the BCP is the operation of “basic centers” that can deliver immediate supports such as emergency shelter, food, clothing, counseling, and referrals to health care. A key feature of the model is that it is intended to be short-term and crisis-oriented: basic centers may provide temporary shelter for up to 21 days. During that brief window, programs work to address the circumstances that led to the youth leaving home (or being forced out) and to make a plan that prioritizes safety and stability. Whenever possible, this includes family reunification, but the program also recognizes that reunification is not always appropriate; in those cases, grantees are expected to help locate suitable alternative placements or next-step options.
The primary purpose emphasized in the opportunity is counseling and crisis intervention for youth who have left home without parental or guardian permission, youth who have been forced to leave home, and other homeless youth who are at high risk of system involvement. In addition to center-based services, programs may offer complementary supports such as street-based services (outreach to connect youth to help), home-based services for families with youth at risk of separation, and drug abuse education and prevention services. Taken together, these services are meant to meet immediate needs while also reducing repeat episodes of running away or homelessness and improving family and youth functioning.
For the FY2018 funding cycle described here, awards are structured as annual grants over a three-year project period, contingent on the availability of funds. The opportunity listed an award ceiling of $200,000 and anticipated making about 89 awards. Applications were required to be submitted electronically by 11:59 p.m. Eastern Time on the closing date (July 5, 2018). The funding opportunity number is HHS-2018-ACF-ACYF-CY-1354, and the CFDA number associated with the program is 93.623.
Eligibility is broad and includes many types of public and nonprofit entities that are positioned to operate youth shelter and supportive services. Eligible applicants include state, county, city or township governments; special district governments; independent school districts; public and private institutions of higher education; federally recognized Native American tribal governments and other Native American tribal organizations; public housing authorities/Indian housing authorities; and nonprofits with or without 501(c)(3) status (as long as they are not institutions of higher education in that nonprofit category). The overall intent is to fund capable community-based organizations and public entities that can deliver short-term shelter and intensive counseling/referral services for runaway and homeless youth, with an emphasis on safety, stabilization, and family-focused resolution when feasible.Apply for HHS 2018 ACF ACYF CY 1354
