Opportunity Information: Apply for HHS 2017 ACF ACYF YO 1241
The Street Outreach Program (SOP) is a discretionary federal grant opportunity offered by the U.S. Department of Health and Human Services (HHS), specifically through the Administration for Children and Families (ACF), Administration on Children, Youth and Families (ACYF), and the Family and Youth Services Bureau (FYSB). The program focuses on reaching runaway, homeless, and street-involved youth who are living in unsafe conditions, often after fleeing or being pushed out of homes affected by abuse, neglect, intense family conflict, or parental substance misuse. A central concern of SOP is that once young people are on the streets, they face elevated risks of sexual abuse and sexual exploitation, including being coerced into prostitution or other severe forms of trafficking. The program also recognizes that some youth may be forced into survival behaviors such as shoplifting, survival sex, or drug dealing to meet basic needs like food and shelter.
SOP has operated since 1996 and funds local organizations to deliver street-based, on-the-ground services in the specific places where street youth tend to gather. The goal is practical and immediate: make contact with youth who may not seek help on their own, build trust, provide crisis support, and connect them to safer options. Funded services are designed to help youth make healthier choices and to increase their access to shelter and related supportive services. In practice, this means outreach teams meeting youth in streets, parks, transit areas, and other common congregation points, offering assistance that can reduce harm and open pathways to stability and safety.
This funding opportunity (Funding Opportunity Number HHS-2017-ACF-ACYF-YO-1241; CFDA 93.557) supports projects within the Income Security and Social Services category. The maximum award amount listed is up to $200,000 per award, with an expected total of 17 awards. The opportunity was posted on May 12, 2017, with an original application closing date of July 11, 2017, and electronically submitted applications were due by 11:59 p.m. Eastern Time on the deadline date.
Eligibility is broad and includes many types of public and nonprofit entities that can carry out street outreach and coordinated services. Eligible applicants include state, county, and city or township governments; special district governments; independent school districts; public and state-controlled institutions of higher education; federally recognized Native American tribal governments; public housing authorities/Indian housing authorities; Native American tribal organizations (other than federally recognized tribal governments); and nonprofit organizations both with and without 501(c)(3) status (excluding institutions of higher education). The listing also notes that additional eligible applicants may be included under an "Others" category as described in the full eligibility guidance.
Overall, the Street Outreach Program targets one of the most immediate and dangerous gaps in the youth services continuum: youth who are outside formal systems and therefore highly vulnerable to exploitation. By funding organizations to meet youth where they are, provide safety-oriented support, and connect them to shelter and other services, SOP aims to reduce victimization and help young people move away from street-based survival strategies toward safer, more stable living situations.Apply for HHS 2017 ACF ACYF YO 1241
