Opportunity Summary:
The Street Outreach Program (SOP) is a federal discretionary grant opportunity run by the U.S. Department of Health and Human Services, Administration for Children and Families (ACF), through ACYF/FYSB. The program is aimed at communities where runaway, homeless, and street youth are living in unsafe situations after fleeing or being forced out of homes affected by abuse, neglect, or substance misuse. SOP focuses specifically on youth who have been sexually abused, commercially sexually exploited, involved in prostitution, or who are at serious risk of those harms. The core purpose is to fund street-based, front-line outreach in the places where young people actually congregate so providers can connect with them quickly, reduce immediate danger, and guide them toward safer options and longer-term supports.
Program services are intended to be delivered directly in street settings rather than waiting for youth to come to an office or shelter on their own. The outreach model recognizes the realities of survival on the street, including the elevated risks of exploitation by adults and the survival behaviors some youth may use to meet basic needs, such as shoplifting, trading sex for food or shelter, or participating in drug distribution. SOP-funded efforts are designed to reduce these risks by building trust, providing practical help, and supporting youth in making healthier decisions about where they stay and how they can protect themselves. SOP has operated in this space since 1996, and it is positioned as a targeted prevention and intervention strategy to reduce sexual abuse and exploitation among runaway and homeless youth.
This funding announcement (Funding Opportunity Number HHS-2013-ACF-ACYF-YO-0574) anticipated making about 56 awards nationwide, supported by an estimated total program funding level of $9,000,000. Individual awards were expected to range from $100,000 to $200,000 per grantee. The program is listed under CFDA 93.557, described as Education and Prevention Grants to Reduce Sexual Abuse of Runaway, Homeless and Street Youth. A cost sharing or matching requirement applies, meaning grantees are expected to contribute non-federal resources toward the project in accordance with the announcement requirements.
Eligibility is broad across public and nonprofit sectors, but it is not open to for-profit organizations. Eligible applicants include states, counties, cities and townships, special district governments, independent school districts, public housing authorities/Indian housing authorities, federally recognized tribal governments, tribal organizations, and both public and private institutions of higher education. Nonprofits may apply whether they have 501(c)(3) status or not (as long as they otherwise qualify), and faith-based and community organizations are explicitly eligible if they meet the same requirements as other applicants. The FOA also allows coordinated networks of public and nonprofit entities to apply. Individuals, foreign entities, and sole proprietorships are not eligible. When selecting grantees, priority is given to entities with demonstrated experience providing shelter and services to runaway, homeless, or street youth, consistent with the Runaway and Homeless Youth (RHY) Act.
Key logistics in this posting include an original and current closing date of June 28, 2013, with electronic applications due no later than 11:59 p.m. Eastern Time on the deadline date.
