Summary:
The purpose of the BCP is to provide an alternative for runaway and homeless
youth who might otherwise end up with law enforcement or in the child welfare,
mental health, or juvenile justice systems. The BCP works to establish or
strengthen community-based programs that meet the immediate needs of runaway
and homeless youth and their families. The programs provide youth up to age 18
with emergency shelter, food, clothing, counseling and referrals for health
care. Most basic centers can provide 21 days of shelter for up to 20 youth at a
time. There are exceptions for jurisdictions that have different standards for
licensing. Basic centers seek to reunite young people with their families,
whenever possible, or to locate appropriate alternative placements. Services
will include: street-based services; home-based services for families with
youth at risk of separation from the family; drug abuse education and
prevention services; and at the request of runaway and homeless youth, testing
for sexually transmitted diseases.
In selecting eligible applicants to receive grants under this FOA, priority will be given to private entities that have experience in providing shelter and services to runaway, homeless and street youth as required by the RHY Act.

Summary:
The purpose of the SOP is to conduct outreach services designed to
build relationships between grantee staff and runaway, homeless, and street
youth with the ultimate goal being to keep youth safe and help them leave the
streets. Today, in communities across the country, young people are
living on the streets after running from or being asked to leave homes
characterized by abuse, neglect, or parental drug and alcohol abuse. Once on
the streets, such youth are at risk of being sexually exploited or abused by
adults for pleasure or profit. In addition, such youth may engage in
shoplifting, survival sex, or drug dealing in order to provide for their basic
needs. Since 1996, SOP has been aiding this population by funding grantees to
provide street-based services to runaway, homeless, and street youth who have
been subjected to, or are at risk of being subjected to, sexual abuse, prostitution,
or sexual exploitation. These services, which are provided in areas where
street youth congregate, are designed to assist such youth in making healthy
choices regarding where they live and how they behave.
