Opportunity Summary:
The Street Outreach Program (SOP) is a discretionary federal grant opportunity administered by the U.S. Department of Health and Human Services, Administration for Children and Families (ACF), specifically within ACYF/FYSB. The program focuses on runaway, homeless, and street youth who have experienced, or are at serious risk of experiencing, sexual abuse, prostitution, or sexual exploitation. The core idea is to meet young people where they already are by funding street-based outreach in the locations where youth congregate, with services aimed at immediate safety, harm reduction, and helping youth move toward safer living situations and healthier choices.
The announcement emphasizes the realities that push youth onto the streets, including abuse, neglect, and parental substance misuse, and it highlights the dangers youth face once unstably housed. Those dangers include being sexually exploited by adults for profit or pleasure, as well as survival behaviors such as shoplifting, exchanging sex for basic needs, or engaging in drug sales. SOP has operated since 1996 and is framed as a prevention and intervention effort intended to reduce sexual victimization and exploitation by connecting youth to supportive services and safer alternatives.
This funding opportunity (Funding Opportunity Number: HHS-2014-ACF-ACYF-YO-0790) is listed under Assistance Listing/CFDA 93.557, described as Education and Prevention Grants to Reduce Sexual Abuse of Runaway, Homeless and Street Youth. The total estimated funding is $2,248,804, with an expected 20 awards. Individual awards are projected to range from $90,000 (floor) to $200,000 (ceiling). A cost-sharing or matching requirement applies, meaning applicants should be prepared to contribute non-federal resources as part of the project budget.
Eligibility is broad across public and nonprofit private entities, including state, county, city/township governments, special district governments, independent school districts, public housing authorities/Indian housing authorities, federally recognized tribal governments, and tribal organizations. Eligible nonprofit applicants may be either 501(c)(3) organizations or nonprofits without 501(c)(3) status (so long as they otherwise meet the requirements), and both public and private institutions of higher education are listed among eligible applicant types. The announcement also clarifies that coordinated networks of eligible entities may apply. For-profit organizations are explicitly ineligible under the Runaway and Homeless Youth (RHY) Act, and individuals, foreign entities, and sole proprietorships are not eligible to apply or receive awards. Faith-based and community organizations are eligible if they meet the standard requirements, with a reference to ACF guidance for faith-based applicants.
Priority in award selection is given to applicants that already have experience providing shelter and services to runaway, homeless, or street youth, consistent with RHY Act expectations. While SOP is centered on street outreach rather than facility-based shelter operations, the notice signals that demonstrated capacity and relevant experience with the target population are important competitive strengths.
Two administrative updates are called out in the description. First, the application deadline was extended by two days because of a planned Grants.gov shutdown. Second, Section VI.2 (Administrative and National Policy Requirements) added a new award term and condition regarding federal recognition of same-sex spouses/marriage, which award recipients would need to follow as part of the grant’s terms and conditions.
Key dates include a Posted Date of March 12, 2014, an Original Closing Date of May 12, 2014, and a Current Closing Date of May 14, 2014. Applications had to be submitted electronically through Grants.gov no later than 11:59 p.m. Eastern Time on the due date. The opportunity archive date is June 13, 2014, indicating it is no longer open, but the details remain useful for understanding SOP’s scope and typical funding structure.
