Opportunity Summary:
The Transitional Living Program and Maternity Group Homes grant opportunity (Funding Opportunity Number HHS 2014 ACF ACYF CX 0567) is a discretionary federal grant from the Administration for Children and Families (ACF), specifically the Administration on Children, Youth and Families (ACYF) through the Family and Youth Services Bureau (FYSB). It falls under the Income Security and Social Services activity category and is tied to CFDA 93.550, Transitional Living for Homeless Youth. The program is designed to support services for runaway and homeless youth (RHY) by offering a stable, service-rich alternative to deeper involvement with systems like law enforcement, child welfare, mental health, and juvenile justice.
At its core, the Transitional Living Program (TLP) funds projects that provide safe and appropriate shelter along with up to 21 months of supportive services under adult supervision. The model is meant to do more than provide a bed; it emphasizes helping youth build the practical foundation needed for long-term stability. Required or key service components include life skills and interpersonal skill building, career counseling and job readiness supports, counseling services, and medical care when appropriate. The goal is to move participants toward greater self-sufficiency through structured supports that address both immediate safety and longer-term education, employment, and well-being.
Maternity Group Homes (MGH) operate on the same basic service framework as TLPs but are specifically tailored to pregnant and parenting youth. In addition to the standard TLP supports, MGH projects must provide parenting instruction and child care, recognizing that young parents need targeted help to care for their children while also working toward housing stability, education, and employment. The opportunity also notes additional supportive services that may be offered, such as transportation assistance, family planning, abstinence education, and pregnancy prevention services, reflecting a broader prevention and health education approach alongside housing and case management.
From a funding standpoint, the opportunity projected an estimated total of $6,000,000 and anticipated making about 31 awards. Individual awards were expected to fall between $100,000 (floor) and $200,000 (ceiling). Cost sharing or matching is required, meaning applicants need to plan for and document non-federal contributions consistent with the program rules. Applications were required to be submitted electronically by 11:59 p.m. Eastern Time on the closing date of January 15, 2014 (posted September 27, 2013, and archived February 14, 2014).
Eligibility is broad across public and nonprofit entities but explicitly excludes for-profit organizations under the Runaway and Homeless Youth (RHY) Act (referenced as section 311). Eligible applicants include states and local governments, county and city/township governments, public housing authorities/Indian housing authorities, independent school districts and special district governments, tribal governments (including federally recognized tribal governments) and other Native American tribal organizations, and both public and private institutions of higher education. Nonprofit organizations may apply whether or not they hold 501(c)(3) status, as long as they otherwise meet the program requirements. Faith-based and community organizations are eligible as well, provided they meet the same eligibility standards. Individuals, foreign entities, and sole proprietorships are not eligible.
In award selection, priority is given to applicants with experience providing shelter and services to runaway, homeless, or street youth, which aligns with the RHY Act emphasis on proven capacity to deliver youth-focused housing and supportive services. The announcement also allows certain current TLP grantees to reapply under specific timing rules: grantees with awards expiring on or after March 31, 2014 but before the end of FY 2014 could apply for continued work in the same service area and/or with the same target population, with start-date adjustments to prevent overlapping federal funding.
