Opportunity Summary:
The Basic Center Program (BCP) is a discretionary federal grant opportunity offered by the U.S. Department of Health and Human Services (HHS) through the Administration for Children and Families (ACF), specifically the Administration on Children, Youth and Families (ACYF) and its Family and Youth Services Bureau (FYSB). It sits within FYSB's Runaway and Homeless Youth (RHY) program, which funds local organizations and communities working to reduce and prevent youth homelessness, along with related issues such as adolescent pregnancy and domestic violence.
The core purpose of the BCP is to provide short-term, safety-focused support for young people in crisis. Funds are intended to help applicants deliver temporary shelter and counseling services to youth who have run away from home, left home without parental or guardian permission, been forced out, or are otherwise experiencing homelessness. The program is designed as an early intervention and stabilization resource so that vulnerable youth do not end up cycling into more intensive public systems like law enforcement, child welfare, mental health services, or the juvenile justice system. In practice, this means the grant supports community-based capacity to quickly house youth, address immediate needs, and provide counseling and supportive services aimed at safety, stabilization, and longer-term planning.
This opportunity is structured as a 36-month project period, broken into three separate 12-month budget periods. That setup typically reflects annual budgeting and performance oversight while committing to a longer, three-year program timeline. The award ceiling listed for this opportunity is $200,000, and the agency anticipated making around 102 awards, indicating the program is meant to be distributed across many communities rather than concentrated into a small number of large grants.
A wide range of entities are eligible to apply, including state, county, city, or township governments; special district governments; independent school districts; public and state-controlled institutions of higher education; private institutions of higher education; federally recognized Native American tribal governments; other tribal organizations; public housing authorities/Indian housing authorities; and nonprofit organizations both with and without 501(c)(3) status (as long as they are not institutions of higher education in the nonprofit category). The funding activity category is Income Security and Social Services, and the CFDA number associated with the program is 93.623.
Key administrative details for the posting include the funding opportunity title Basic Center Program and funding opportunity number HHS-2016-ACF-ACYF-CY-1121. The notice was posted on May 5, 2016, with the application closing date of July 5, 2016.
