Opportunity Information: Apply for HHS 2022 ACF ACYF CY 0069
The Basic Center Program (BCP) is a discretionary federal grant opportunity run by the U.S. Department of Health and Human Services (HHS), specifically the Administration for Children and Families (ACF), Administration on Children, Youth and Families (ACYF) through the Family and Youth Services Bureau (FYSB). Its purpose is to support community-based efforts that provide short-term, emergency help to runaway and homeless youth, especially young people who have left home without parental permission, have been pushed out of their homes, or are otherwise without stable housing and at risk of entering systems like law enforcement, child welfare, mental health services, or juvenile justice.
BCP-funded programs focus on meeting immediate, practical needs while also addressing the underlying family or placement issues that contributed to the youth becoming homeless. The program is designed for youth under 18 and typically covers essentials such as temporary emergency shelter, meals, clothing, basic counseling, and referrals for health care and related services. A key feature of the program is its short-term shelter model: grantees may provide up to 21 days of shelter per youth, using that time to stabilize the situation, assess safety, and connect the youth to longer-term supports.
A central goal of the Basic Center Program is family reunification whenever it is safe and appropriate. Programs are expected to work with youth and families to resolve conflicts and support reunification, but they also recognize that returning home is not always possible or safe. In those cases, BCP services aim to help locate appropriate alternative placements or arrangements that better protect the youth and support their longer-term stability.
Beyond shelter and core counseling, the program allows for several supportive and prevention-oriented services depending on local needs and capacity. These can include street-based services to reach youth who are not coming into shelters, home-based services for families with youth at risk of separation, and drug abuse education and prevention. The description also notes that, when requested by runaway and homeless youth, programs may provide testing for sexually transmitted diseases, reflecting the program’s role in connecting youth to critical health-related resources.
From a funding and administrative standpoint, this opportunity is listed under Funding Opportunity Number HHS-2022-ACF-ACYF-CY-0069 and CFDA (now Assistance Listing) number 93.623, within the “Income Security and Social Services” activity category. The funding instrument is a grant. The maximum award amount (award ceiling) is $200,000, and the opportunity anticipated approximately 68 awards. The original posting date is April 26, 2022, with an original closing date of June 27, 2022; applications were required to be submitted electronically by 11:59 p.m. Eastern Time on the due date.
Eligibility is broad and includes many types of public and private entities. Eligible applicants include state, county, and city or township governments; special district governments; independent school districts; public and state-controlled institutions of higher education; private institutions of higher education; federally recognized Native American tribal governments; other Native American tribal organizations; public housing authorities/Indian housing authorities; and nonprofit organizations both with and without 501(c)(3) status (excluding higher education institutions in those nonprofit categories). The opportunity also indicates an “Other” category with further clarification referenced in an additional eligibility text field, meaning some additional applicant types may qualify depending on the specific notice language.
Overall, the Basic Center Program is aimed at strengthening local capacity to respond quickly and safely when minors experience a housing crisis, pairing short-term shelter with counseling, family-focused intervention, and service connections that reduce the likelihood of deeper system involvement and help youth move toward safer, more stable living situations.Apply for HHS 2022 ACF ACYF CY 0069
