Opportunity Summary:
The Street Outreach Program (SOP) is a discretionary federal grant opportunity run by the U.S. Department of Health and Human Services, Administration for Children and Families (ACF), specifically through the Administration on Children, Youth and Families (ACYF) and the Family and Youth Services Bureau (FYSB). The central goal of the program is to fund organizations that can go directly into places where young people are living or spending time on the streets and provide outreach services that help staff build trusting relationships with runaway, homeless, and street youth. The program is closely tied to education and prevention efforts that reduce sexual abuse and related risks faced by youth who are unsheltered or otherwise disconnected from stable housing and supports.
This funding opportunity (Funding Opportunity Number HHS 2009 ACF ACYF YO 0024) was posted on April 22, 2009, with an application closing date of June 8, 2009. Applications submitted through Grants.gov had to be received by 4:30 p.m. Eastern Time on the due date. The total estimated funding available was $5,000,000, with an expectation of about 50 awards. Individual awards could be as high as $200,000, and there was no stated minimum award amount (award floor listed as $0). The CFDA program number associated with this opportunity is 93.557, described as Education and Prevention Grants to Reduce Sexual Abuse of Runaway, Homeless and Street Youth. A cost sharing or matching requirement applied, meaning applicants needed to plan for required non-federal contributions as part of their project budget and overall financing approach.
Eligibility was broad but focused on public and nonprofit entities positioned to deliver community-based outreach and prevention services. Eligible applicants included state, county, local, city/township, and special district governments; regional organizations; public and tribal-related entities (including Indian/Native American tribal organizations other than federally recognized and tribally designated organizations); public or Indian housing authorities; and nonprofit organizations both with and without 501(c)(3) status. The announcement also notes eligibility for nonprofit private agencies involved in sexual abuse prevention programs, and it explicitly states that faith-based and community organizations may apply. Foreign entities were not eligible.
The announcement included specific rules for current SOP grantees. Existing SOP grantees whose project periods were ending on or before September 29, 2009 were allowed to apply for a new competitive Street Outreach grant under this announcement, along with other eligible organizations not currently receiving SOP funds. However, current SOP grantees that still had one or two years remaining in their existing project period could not apply for a new Street Outreach grant to serve the same community they were already funded to serve; instead, they were directed toward non-competitive continuation processes and advised to coordinate with their assigned ACF Runaway and Homeless Youth (RHY) Specialist to confirm eligibility and the correct application pathway.
