Basic Center Program (BCP)
93.623
The purpose of the Basic Center Program is to establish or strengthen the capacity of community-based public and private agencies to address the immediate needs of runaway and homeless youth under the age of 18 and their families. Emergency shelter and supportive services must be delivered outside of the law enforcement, child welfare, mental health, and juvenile justice systems. The goals and objectives of the Basic Center Program are to: 1) provide outreach, crisis intervention and aftercare; 2) reunite youth with their families, if deemed safe, and encourage the resolution of intra-family problems through counseling and other services; 3) strengthen family relationships and encourage stable living conditions for youth; and 4) help youth decide on constructive courses of action. Additional programs funded under this listing include the National Communication System for Runaway and Homeless Youth Program, which is a dedicated toll-free, U.S. national communication system that provides information, referral services, crisis intervention, prevention approaches, and other supportive services to vulnerable, at-risk, and runaway and homeless youth and their families or legal guardians. And, the Runaway Homeless Youth Training and Technical Assistance Center (RHYTTAC), which provides direct training and technical assistance to existing and potential RHY grant recipients and subrecipients to enhance their efforts to successfully implement projects supported by FYSB grant funds.
