Opportunity Summary:
The Street Outreach Program grant opportunity (Funding Opportunity Number HHS-2011-ACF-ACYF-YO-0168) is a discretionary grant competition offered by the U.S. Department of Health and Human Services, Administration for Children and Families (ACF). It supports community-based projects that actively reach young people who are living on the streets or in other unstable situations, often after running away from or being pushed out of homes affected by abuse, neglect, or parental substance use. The underlying problem the program is trying to address is that once youth are disconnected from home, school, extended family, and other protective relationships, they face elevated risks of exploitation, violence, and abuse, along with serious physical health, behavioral health, and emotional challenges. These risks are made worse by the difficulty many of these youth have in finding and keeping safe, stable housing, which is often the foundation for a successful transition to adulthood.
The purpose of Street Outreach-funded projects is to meet youth where they are and deliver targeted services that increase immediate safety while also strengthening longer-term well-being and self-sufficiency. A key emphasis is helping youth build and maintain permanent connections with caring adults and supportive community networks, with the broader goal of helping them exit street life. The opportunity is tied to CFDA 93.557, described as Education and Prevention Grants to Reduce Sexual Abuse of Runaway, Homeless and Street Youth, signaling a prevention and protection focus for youth who are particularly vulnerable to sexual exploitation and other forms of victimization.
Funding for this announcement was estimated at $2.1 million total, with an expected 21 awards. The maximum award amount (ceiling) is $200,000, and no minimum award amount (floor) is specified. A cost-sharing or matching requirement applies, meaning applicants should be prepared to contribute non-federal resources or documented match consistent with the full announcement details. The funding instrument is a grant, and the funding activity category is Income Security and Social Services.
Eligibility is broad and includes state, county, and city/township governments; special district governments; public housing authorities/Indian housing authorities; federally recognized tribal governments; and other Native American tribal organizations that are not federally recognized governments. Nonprofit organizations may apply whether or not they have 501(c)(3) status (as long as they are not institutions of higher education). Faith-based and community organizations are explicitly eligible if they meet the program requirements. Individuals, foreign entities, and sole proprietorships are not eligible to apply or receive awards under this announcement.
The application deadline for this competition was June 24, 2011, with a specific submission cutoff for electronic applications through Grants.gov of no later than 4:30 p.m. Eastern Time on the due date. The announcement notes it was modified, with a correction made to Section VIII (Other Information), and it was later archived on December 23, 2011. For applicants needing help accessing the full announcement, ACF provided support through the ACF Applications Help Desk (appsupport@acf.hhs.gov).
