CFDA NO.: 93.616.
SUMMARY: The Administration on Children, Youth and Families, Family and
Youth Services Bureau (FYSB), herein announces the awarding of ten
supplemental awards in the amount of $1,932,300 to fund Fiscal Year
(FY) 2007 Runaway and Homeless Youth Training and Technical Assistance
cooperative agreements. The average amount per grantee would be
$192,230.
Section 439 of the Social Security Act, as amended by the Child and
Family Services Improvement Act of 2006 (Pub. L. 109-288) authorizes
the Secretary of Health and Human Services (HHS) to award grants for
the purpose of supporting the establishment or expansion and operation
of community-based programs to provide one-on-one mentoring
relationships between a child of incarcerated parent(s) and a caring,
supportive adult mentor under the Mentoring Children of Prisoners
Program (MCP). This supplemental funding will be used to access the
capacity building expertise of the ten Runaway and Homeless Youth
Training and Technical Assistance Providers for the purpose of
enhancing the capacity of newly awarded lower scoring community and
faith-based MCP grantees. It is expected that the supplementing of the
ten RHY Training and Technical Assistance Providers will result in the
reduction in program start-up issues and other barriers to high
performance.
It is critical that these MCP grantees receive the best possible
services as it relates to enhancing their capacity to develop and
maintain a quality mentoring program. The following agencies are
receiving grant funds for a twelve month project period:
