DEPARTMENT OF HEALTH AND HUMAN SERVICES

Administration for Children and Families

[CFDA Number: 93.623]


Award of a Single-Source Replacement Grant to SOS Children's 
Villages Illinois in Chicago, IL

AGENCY: Family and Youth Services Bureau, ACYF, ACF, HHS.

ACTION: The Administration of Children and Families (ACF) 
Administration on Children, Youth, and Families (ACYF) Family and Youth 
Services Bureau (FYSB) announces the award of a single-source 
replacement grant to SOS Children's Villages Illinois in Chicago, IL.

-----------------------------------------------------------------------

SUMMARY: The Family and Youth Services Bureau (FYSB), Administration on 
Children, Youth and Families (ACYF) awarded a Fiscal Year 2010 Basic 
Center Program (BCP) grant to Boys Town Chicago, Inc. in Chicago, IL. 
During the project period, Boys Town Chicago, Inc. submitted a letter 
relinquishing their grant. ACYF/FYSB has designated SOS Children's 
Villages Illinois, a 501(c)(3) non-profit organization, as the single-
source replacement grantee that will assume the programmatic and 
financial responsibility for the original project.

SUPPLEMENTARY INFORMATION: SOS Children's Villages Illinois will 
continue to provide crisis intervention, reunification counseling and 
temporary housing for Runaway and Homeless Youth under the terms and 
conditions of the grant award. The designated grantee continues to 
provide uninterrupted services and programming to youth and families in 
their catchment area.
    SOS Children's Villages Illinois is located in Back of the Yards 
neighborhood on the Southwest side of Chicago. In a unique partnership 
that blends resources of the community with SOS Children's Villages 
Illinois, their emergency shelter offers temporary assistance for 
runaway and homeless youth who are trapped in a cycle of violence and 
poverty and have little or no family support.
    Without Federal BCP funding, there would be a break in needed 
critical services that assist runaway and homeless youth in Back of the 
Yards. Without continued Federal funding, the physical and mental 
health of the affected families and youth would be at risk and the BCP 
in this locality would be seriously jeopardized.
    Subject to the availability of funds, satisfactory progress of the 
grantee, and a determination that continued funding would be in the 
best interest of the Federal Government, SOS Children's Villages 
Illinois would be eligible to receive a continuation award that will 
address costs for the program during the final year of the original 
project period (September 2012-September 2013).

    December 29, 2011-September 29, 2012.
