Opportunity Summary:
The Basic Center Program (BCP) is a discretionary federal grant opportunity offered by the U.S. Department of Health and Human Services, Administration for Children and Families (ACF), through the Administration on Children, Youth and Families (ACYF) and the Family and Youth Services Bureau (FYSB). Its core goal is to provide a safe, immediate alternative for runaway and homeless youth who might otherwise end up involved with law enforcement or placed into child welfare, mental health, or juvenile justice systems. The program is designed to help communities establish or strengthen local, community-based services that respond quickly to the urgent needs of vulnerable youth and, when appropriate, their families.
BCP-funded projects focus on short-term, crisis-oriented shelter and supportive services for young people up to age 18. In practice, basic centers typically offer emergency shelter along with essentials such as food and clothing, counseling, and referrals to health care and other needed services. A standard model for many centers is the ability to provide up to 21 days of shelter and to serve up to 20 youth at a time, though licensing and jurisdictional rules can create exceptions to those limits. Beyond meeting immediate safety needs, basic centers emphasize family reunification whenever it is safe and possible, and when reunification is not appropriate, they work to identify and secure suitable alternative living arrangements or placements.
This funding announcement (Funding Opportunity Number HHS-2013-ACF-ACYF-CY-0575; CFDA 93.623) anticipated approximately 116 awards with an estimated total funding amount of $16.3 million. Individual awards were expected to range from $50,000 (floor) to $200,000 (ceiling). A cost sharing or matching requirement applies, meaning recipients are expected to contribute non-federal resources in support of the project as part of the grant structure.
Eligible applicants are broad and include state, county, city/township, special district, and tribal governments (including federally recognized tribal governments), public housing authorities/Indian housing authorities, public and private institutions of higher education, and nonprofit organizations (including both 501(c)(3) nonprofits and nonprofits without 501(c)(3) status, other than institutions of higher education). The announcement notes that faith-based and community organizations may apply as long as they meet eligibility requirements. In selecting grantees, priority is given to entities that can demonstrate experience providing shelter and services to runaway, homeless, and street youth in line with the Runaway and Homeless Youth (RHY) Act requirements. Individuals, foreign entities, and sole proprietorships are not eligible to apply or receive awards under this opportunity.
The opportunity was posted on May 21, 2013, with an application deadline of July 22, 2013, and required electronic submission by 11:59 p.m. Eastern Time on the due date. For technical help accessing or submitting the announcement materials, applicants were directed to the ACF Applications Help Desk (appsupport@acf.hhs.gov).
