DEPARTMENT OF HEALTH AND HUMAN SERVICES

[CFDA Number: 93.623]
Announcement of the Intent to Award a Supplemental Grant to the
National Safe Place Network in Louisville, KY
AGENCY: Family and Youth Services Bureau, ACYF, ACF, HHS.
ACTION: Notice.
-----------------------------------------------------------------------
SUMMARY: The Administration for Children and Families (ACF),
Administration on Children, Youth and Families (ACYF), Family and Youth
Services Bureau (FYSB) announces its intent to award a non-competitive
supplemental grant in the amount of up to $310,000 to the National Safe
Place Network in Louisville, KY, to support and expand the grantee's
activities under their award for the Runaway and Homeless Youth
Training and Technical Assistance Center (RHYTTAC).
DATES: The proposed supplement is intended to support costs for the
period of September 30, 2016, through September 29, 2017.
FOR FURTHER INFORMATION CONTACT: Ana Cody, Family and Youth Services
Bureau, 330 C Street SW., Washington, DC 20024. Telephone: 202-205-8418
Email: [email protected].
SUPPLEMENTARY INFORMATION: The National Safe Place Network is the
recipient agency of the RHYTTAC cooperative agreement that fulfills
Section 342 of the Runaway and Homeless Youth (RHY) Act, which allows
for grants to organizations to provide training and technical
assistance to public and private entities that are eligible to receive
grants under this title. The purpose of this agreement is for carrying
out the programs, projects, or activities for which such grants are
made. The original award was made as the result of a competition under
ACF Funding Opportunity Announcement HHS-2012-ACF-ACYF-CY-0312.
The primary goal of the RHYTTAC program is to serve as a
centralized, national Training and Technical Assistance (T&TA) resource
for FYSB-funded RHY program grantees. Training and other resources are
made available to assist grantees to improve the quality of their core
services, build capacity to increase the number of youth served, and
address the dynamic needs of the runaway and homeless youth population.
The total supplemental funding available for the proposed non-
competitive award would allow for the allocation of $150,000 for T&TA
to support 12 new Domestic Victims of Human Trafficking (DVHT) grantees
and the allocation of $160,000 for T&TA to support 8 new Transitional
Living Program (TLP) demonstration program grantees.
The supplemental funding will be used to provide each grantee in
the DVHT program with an on-site T&TA visit by RHYTTAC to collect
information from a Human Trafficking Specific Capacity Assessment. The
assessment and on-site observations will be used to create
individualized action plans for each grantee to direct RHYTTAC's work
with them for the remainder of their projects. In addition, RHYTTAC
will facilitate discussions with human trafficking experts and
coordinate a peer-exchange meeting to encourage grantees to build a
cohesive working group. It will operate as a unit to ensure that all
programs are functioning from the same baseline performance level. The
proposed funding also will support new approaches and strategies to
better serve Lesbian, Gay, Bisexual, Transgender, and Questioning
(LGBTQ) youth and youth who are ``aging out'' of foster care.
A new, non-competitive application will be solicited from the
National Safe Place Network. The application will receive an objective
review by a panel using criteria related to the program's approach,
objectives, outcomes and need for assistance, organizational profile,
and an assessment of the proposed budget and budget justification.
STATUTORY AUTHORITY: The RHY and FYSB grantee is authorized by the
RHY Act, 42 U.S.C. 5701-5752, as most recently amended by the
Reconnecting Homeless Youth Act of 2008, Pub. L.110-378, on October 8,
2008.
