 Part 1. Competitive Grant Areas and Summaries of Evaluation Criteria Applicants must refer to the specific evaluation criteria for each competitive area contained in the official Program Announcement in order to adequately prepare their applications. A. Basic Centers Program, CFDA# 93.623 (Competitive Grant Area A) *Eligible Applicants:*
                     Any State, unit of local government, combination of units of local government, public or private nonprofit agency, organization or institution is eligible to apply for these funds. Federally recognized Indian Tribes are eligible to apply for Basic Center grants. Indian Tribes that are not federally recognized and urban Indian organizations are also eligible to apply for grants as private, nonprofit agencies. Current Basic Center grantees with project periods ending on or before September 30, 2000, and all other eligible applicants not currently receiving Basic Center funds may apply for a new competitive Basic Center grant under this announcement. Current Basic Center Program grantees (including subgrantees) with one or two years remaining on their current grant and the expectation of continuation funding in FY 2000 may not apply for a new Basic Center grant for the community they currently serve. These grantees will receive instructions from their respective ACF Regional Offices on the procedures for applying for noncompetitive continuation grants. *Program Purpose, Goals and Objectives:*
                     The purpose of this program is to establish or strengthen locally-controlled, community-based programs that address the immediate needs of runaway and homeless youth and their families. Services must be delivered outside of the law enforcement, child welfare, mental health and juvenile justice systems. The program goals and objectives of the Basic Center Program are to: Alleviate problems of runaway and homeless youth;
                Reunite youth with their families and encourage the resolution of intrafamily problems through counseling and other services;
                Strengthen family relationships and encourage stable living conditions for youth; and
                Help youth decide upon constructive courses of action. *Federal Share of Project Costs:*
                     Priority will be given to applicants that apply for less than $200,000 per year. The maximum Federal share for a 3-year project period $600,000. *Applicant Share of Project Costs:*
                     Basic Center grantees must provide a non-Federal share or match of at least ten percent of the Federal funds awarded. (There are certain exceptions for Tribes with “638” funding pursuant to Pub. L. 93-638, under which certain Federal grants may qualify as matching funds for other Federal grant programs, 
                    *e.g.,*
                     those which contribute to the purposes for which grants under section 638 were made.) The non-Federal share may be met by cash or in-kind contributions, although  applicants are encouraged to meet their match requirements through cash contributions. Therefore, a three-year project costing $300,000 in Federal funds (based on an award of $100,000 per 12-month budget period) must include a match of at least $30,000 (10,000 per budget period). *Duration of Project:*
                     This announcement solicits applications for Basic Center programs of up to three years duration (36-month project periods). Initial grant awards, made on a competitive basis, will be for one-year (12-month) budget periods. Applications for non-competitive continuation grants beyond the one-year budget periods, but within the 36-month project periods, will be entertained in subsequent years, subject to the availability of funds, satisfactory progress of the grantee and determination that continued funding would be in the best interest of the government. B. Transitional Living Program, CFDA #93.550 (Competitive Grant Area B) *Eligible Applicants:*
                     Any State, unit of local government (or a combination of units of local government), public or private nonprofit agency, organization, institution or other nonprofit entity.

Current TLP grantees (including subgrantees) with one or two years remaining on their current awards and the expectation of continuation funding in Fiscal Year 2001 may not apply for a new TLP grant under this announcement. These grantees will receive instructions from their respective ACF Region/Hub Offices on the procedures for applying for non-competitive continuation grants.
                    ( print page 31340) *Program Purpose, Goals and Objectives:*
                     The overall purpose of TLP for homeless youth is to establish and operate transitional living projects for homeless youth. This program is structured to help older, homeless youth achieve self-sufficiency and avoid long-term dependency on social services. Transitional living projects provide shelter, skills training, and support services to homeless youth ages 16 through 21 for a continuous period not exceeding 18 months. Transitional Living Program funds are to be used for the purpose of enhancing the capacities of youth-serving agencies in local communities to effectively address the service needs of homeless, older adolescents and young adults. *Federal Share of Project Costs:*
                     Applicants may apply for up to $200,000 per year, which equals a maximum of $600,000 for a 3-year project period. *Applicant Share of Project Cost:*

                    *e.g.,*
                    those which contribute to the purposes for which grants under section 638 were made.) the non-Federal share may be met by cash or in-kind contributions, although applicants are encouraged to meet their match requirements through cash contributions. Therefore, a three-year project costing $300,000 in Federal funds (based on an award of $100,000 per 12-month budget period) must include a match of at least $30,00 ($10,000 per budget period). *Duration of Project:*
                     This announcement solicits applications for Transitional Living projects of up to three years (36-month project periods). Initial grant awards, made on a competitive basis, will be for one-year (12-month) budget periods. Applications for non-competing continuation grants beyond the one-year budget periods, but within the 36-month project periods, will be entertained in subsequent years, subject to the availability of funds, satisfactory progress of the grantee and determination that continued funding would be in the best interest of the government. C. Street Outreach Program, CFDA# 93.557 (Competitive Grant Area C) *Eligible Applicants:*
                     Any private, nonprofit agency is eligible to apply for these funds.

Current Street Outreach Program grantees (including subgrantees) with one or two years remaining on their current grant and the expectation of continuation funding in FY 2000 may not apply for a new Street Outreach grant for the community they currently serve. These grantees will receive instructions from their respective ACF Regional Offices on the procedures for applying for continuation grants. *Program Purpose, Goals and Objectives:*
                     The overall purpose of SOP is to provide education and prevention services to runaway, homeless and street youth who have been subjected to or are at risk of sexual exploitation or abuse. The goal of the program is to establish and build relationships between street youth and program outreach staff in order to help youth leave the streets. The objective of the program is to provide support services that will assist the youth in moving an adjusting to a safe and appropriate alternative living arrangement. These services include, at a minimum, treatment, counseling, provision of information and referral services. Street outreach programs must have access to local emergency shelter space that is an appropriate placement for young people and that can be made available for youth willing to come in off the streets. In addition, street outreach staff must have access to the shelter in order to maintain interaction with the youth during the time they are in the shelter. *Federal Share of Project Costs:*
                     Applicants may apply for up to $100,000 in Federal support each year, a maximum of $300,00 for a 3-year project period. The maximum Federal share of project costs is $100,000 for 12 months. *Applicants Share of Project Cost:*
