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.
