SUMMARY: The Family and Youth

Services Bureau of the Administration
Federal Register / Vol. 60, No. 81 / Thursday, April 27, 1995 / Notices 20685

on Children, Youth and Families is

publishing final program priorities and

announcing the availability of funds for:

1. The Basic Center Program for

Runaway and Homeless Youth (BCP).

The purpose of the BCP is to provide

financial assistance to establish or

strengthen locally-controlled centers

that address the immediate needs

(outreach, temporary shelter, food,

clothing, counseling, aftercare, and

related services) of runaway and

homeless youth and their families.

2. The Drug Abuse Education and

Prevention Program for Runaway and

Homeless Youth (DAPP). The purpose

of the DAPP is to improve and expand

drug abuse prevention, education and

information services to runaway and

homeless youth and their families.

This single announcement for the two

programs has been developed in order

to save the field and the Federal

government significant resources. Also,

the single announcement provides the

field with the application due dates for

both programs, providing interested

agencies the means to forecast the

workload and resources needed to apply

for these grants. Potential applicants

should note that separate applications

must be submitted for each program

applied for.

This announcement contains all the

necessary information and application

materials to apply for funds under these

grant programs. The estimated funds

available for new starts and the

approximate number of new grants that

have been or are to be awarded under

this program announcement are as

follows:

Program Fiscal

*There will be no FY 1995 requests for applications for the Transitional Living Program

for Homeless Youth (TLP). FY 1995 funds for

new TLP programs have already been awarded based on an FY 1994 competition.

In addition to the competitive, new

start grants, the Administration on

Children, Youth and Families

anticipates providing FY 1995 noncompetitive, continuation funds to

current grantees, including

Demonstration Projects (DEMOS), as

follows:

Part I. General Information

A. Background on Runaway and

Homeless Youth

The Family and Youth Services

Bureau (FYSB), within the

Administration on Children, Youth and

Families (ACYF), administers programs

that support services to an adolescent

population of approximately 500,000

runaway and homeless youth. Many of

these youth have left home to escape

abusive situations, or because their

parents could not supply their basic

needs of food, shelter and a safe

supportive environment. Many live on

the streets.

While living on the streets or away

from home without parental

supervision, these youth are highly

vulnerable. They may become victims of

street violence, or may be exploited by

dealers of illegal drugs. Usually lacking

marketable skills, they may be drawn

into shoplifting, prostitution, or dealing

drugs in order to earn money for food,

clothing, and other daily expenses.

Without a fixed address or regular place

to sleep, they often drop out of school,

forfeiting their opportunities to learn

and to become independent, selfsufficient, contributing members of

society. As street people, they may try

to survive with little or no contact with

medical professionals, the result being

that their health problems may go

untreated and may worsen. Without the

support of family, schools, and other

community institutions, they may not

acquire the personal values and work

skills that will enable them to enter or

advance in the world of work at other

than the most minimal levels. Finally,

as street people, they may create

substantial law enforcement problems,

endangering both themselves and the

communities in which they are located.

All these problems, real and potential,

call for a comprehensive, nationwide,

community-based program to address

the needs of runaway and homeless

youth.

B. Legislative Authority

Grants for the Basic Center Program

for Runaway and Homeless Youth are

authorized by Part A of the Runaway

and Homeless Youth Act (RHY Act), 42

U.S.C. 5701 et seq. The RHY Act was

enacted as Title III of the Juvenile

Justice and Delinquency Prevention Act

of 1974 (Pub. L. 93–415), and amended

by the Juvenile Justice Amendments of

1977 (Pub. L. 95–115), the Juvenile

Justice Amendments of 1980 (Pub. L.

96–509), the Juvenile Justice

Amendments of 1984 (Pub. L. 98–473),

the Anti-Drug Abuse Act of 1988 (Pub.

L. 100–690), and the Juvenile Justice

and Delinquency Prevention Act

Amendments of 1992 (Pub. L. 102–586).

Grants for coordinating, training and

technical assistance, research,

demonstration, evaluation and service

projects are authorized under Part D of

the RHY Act.

Grants for the Drug Abuse Education

and Prevention Program for Runaway

and Homeless Youth are authorized

under section 3511 of Public Law 100–

690, the Anti-Drug Abuse Act of 1988

(Anti-Drug Abuse Act), which

established the Drug Abuse Education

and Prevention Program for Runaway

and Homeless Youth, as amended by

Public Law 102–132.

C. Purpose, Goals and Objectives of the

Federal Runaway and Homeless Youth

Grant Programs

1. Basic Center Program for Runaway

and Homeless Youth

The overall purpose of the BCP is to

provide financial assistance to establish

or strengthen community-based centers

that address the immediate needs

(outreach, temporary shelter, food,

clothing, counseling, aftercare, and

related services) of runaway and

homeless youth and their families.

Services supported by this program are

to be outside the law enforcement, the

child welfare, the mental health, and the

juvenile justice systems. The program

goals and objectives of Part A of the

RHY Act are to:

a. Alleviate problems of runaway and

homeless youth,

b. Reunite youth with their families

and encourage the resolution of

intrafamily problems through

counseling and other services,

c. Strengthen family relationships and

encourage stable living conditions for

youth, and

d. Help youth decide upon

constructive courses of action.

2. Drug Abuse Education and

Prevention Program for Runaway and

Homeless Youth

The overall purpose of the DAPP is to

help communities address the problem

of drug abuse among runaway and

homeless youth through the prevention,

early intervention, and reduction of

drug dependency. The specific goals

and objectives of the program, as set

forth in Section 3511 of the Anti-Drug

Abuse Act, are to:

a. Provide individual, family, and

group counseling to runaway youth and

their families and to homeless youth for

the purpose of preventing or reducing

the illicit use of drugs by such youth;

b. Develop and support peer

counseling programs related to the illicit

use of drugs by runaway and homeless

youth;

c. Develop and support community

education activities related to the illicit

use of drugs by runaway and homeless

youth, including outreach to individual

youth;

d. Provide runaway and homeless

youth in rural areas with assistance

(including the development of

community support groups) related to

the illicit use of drugs;

e. Provide information and training

regarding issues related to the illicit use

of drugs by runaway and homeless

youth to individuals providing services

to these youth;

f. Support research on illicit drug use

by runaway and homeless youth, the

effects on such youth of drug abuse by

family members, and any correlation

between such use and attempts at

suicide; and

g. Improve the availability and

coordination of local services related to

drug abuse for runaway and homeless

youth.

Specifics regarding grant awards in

each of these two programs are found in

Part III, Sections A and B, of this

announcement.

D. Definitions

1. Under Part A of the RHY Act,

which authorizes the BCP, the term
Federal Register / Vol. 60, No. 81 / Thursday, April 27, 1995 / Notices 20687

homeless youth means a person under

18 years of age who is in need of

services and without a place of shelter

where he or she receives supervision

and care. This definition applies to all

Basic Center projects and can be found

in 45 CFR 1351.1(f).

2. The term public agency means any

State, unit of local government,

combination of such States or units, or

any agency, department, or

instrumentality of any of the foregoing.

This definition applies to all runaway

and homeless youth programs and can

be found in section 3601(8) of the AntiDrug Abuse Act, incorporating by

reference section 103(11) of the Juvenile

Justice and Delinquency Prevention Act

of 1974, as amended.

3. The term runaway youth means a

person under 18 years of age who

absents himself or herself from home or

place of legal residence without the

permission of parents or legal guardian.

This definition applies to all Basic

Center programs and can be found in 45

CFR 1351.1(k).

4. The term shelter includes host

homes, group homes and supervised

apartments. This definition applies to

all BCP programs and is referenced in

section 322(1) of the RHY Act. As

currently understood in the field:

Host homes are facilities providing

shelter, usually in the home of a family,

under contract to accept runaway and/

or homeless youth assigned by the BCP

service provider, and are licensed

according to State or local laws.

Group homes are single-site

residential facilities designed to house

BCP clients who may be new to the

program or may require a higher level of

supervision. These dwellings operate in

accordance with State or local housing

codes and licensure.

5. The term State means any State of

the United States, the District of

Columbia, the Commonwealth of Puerto

Rico, the Virgin Islands, Guam,

American Samoa, and the

Commonwealth of the Northern

Marianas. This definition applies to all

runaway and homeless youth programs

and can be found in section 3601(10) of

the Anti-Drug Abuse Act, incorporating

by reference section 103(7) of the

Juvenile Justice and Delinquency

Prevention Act of 1974, as amended.

6. The term temporary shelter means

the provision of short-term (maximum

of 15 days) room and board and core

crisis intervention services on a 24 hour

basis. This definition applies to all Basic

Center Program grantees and can be

found in 45 CFR 1351.1(o).

E. Final Priorities

Section 364 of the Runaway and

Homeless Youth Act (RHY Act) requires

the Department to publish annually for

public comment a proposed plan

specifying priorities the Department

will follow in awarding grants and

contracts under the RHY Act. The

proposed plan for FY 1995 was

published in the Federal Register on

Thursday, January 5, 1995, and

requested comments and

recommendations from the field.

1. Public Comments in Response to the

Proposed Priorities

The Family and Youth Services

Bureau (FYSB) received 14 written

responses from a number of sources,

principally Runaway and Homeless

Youth Program grantees, in nine

different States. The responses were

generally supportive and the following

summarizes the major issues raised:

a. A number of respondents suggested

that the change in the proposal due date

from the ‘‘mailing receipt date’’ of FY

1994 to the ‘‘actual receipt date’’ of FY

1995 would be unfair to potential

grantees from distant or insular areas.

The FYSB appreciates these concerns.

The ‘‘mailing receipt date’’ of FY 1994

was the date by which proposals had to

be delivered to the U.S. Postal Service

and given a date stamp. In FY 1994,

agencies had only 34 days in which to

prepare and submit their proposals.

That is, only 34 days intervened

between the publication date of the

Federal Register solicitation and the

‘‘mailing receipt date’’ for the proposals.

The FYSB considered this a minimal

time for proposal preparation and

submission. Those proposals that were

delivered to the U.S. Postal Service on

the mailing receipt date itself typically

arrived in Washington, DC., for review

only several days and in some cases

several weeks later. These late arrivals

occasioned some disruptions in the

review process.

In FY 1995, approximately 60 days

will intervene between the publication

date of the solicitation and the actual

receipt date of the proposals by HHS in

Washington, DC. The FYSB considers

60 days to be fully adequate for proposal

preparation, mailing, and delivery.

b. A number of respondents

supported the proposal to establish a

minimum grant level of $75,000 per

year, while a somewhat larger number

suggested that runaway and homeless

youth in rural States, such as in Region

VIII, miGht be deprived of services if all

or almost all of a State’s allocation went

to just one site, leaving youth in distant

sections of the State completely

unserved. The FYSB will adopt the goal

of increasing funding to individual sites

now receiving very small awards when

possible, but will not establish a

minimum at this time.

c. Most respondents agreed with the

proposal to establish consolidated youth

services demonstration programs that

combined the services of the three

traditional programs: the BCP, the

DAPP, and the TLP. However, the

proposal in the Administration’s FY

1996 budget to consolidate all of the

RHY programs into a single program,

along with a variety of different

proposals by the Congress, suggests to

FYSB that it would be preferable to

postpone implementation of this

demonstration effort.

To the extent feasible, ACYF

addressed these and all other public

comments in preparing the final

priorities. The final program priorities

below reflect the changes made in the

proposed priorities in light of the

comments received.

2. Final Program Priorities for Fiscal

Year 1995

The final priorities are similar to

those of earlier years in that the

Department will award 90 percent or

more of the funds appropriated under

the BCP and approximately 90 percent

of the funds appropriated under the

DAPP and the TLP to grantees providing

direct services to runaway and homeless

youth.

The final priorities are further similar

to those of earlier years in that the

Department will award continuation

funding to the National

Communications System, to the ten

Regional Training and Technical

Assistance providers, and to a number

of related program support activities.

The Final Program Priorities differ

from those of earlier years in two major

ways:

• The Family and Youth Services

Bureau is adopting an approach to

youth services that emphasizes

comprehensive youth development over

attempts to correct discrete

dysfunctional behaviors of youth and

their families, and

• The FYSB is adopting

administrative changes designed for

more efficient delivery of services and

more stability among service providers.

a. Basic Center Program Grants

Approximately 340 Basic Center

grants, of which about one-third will be

competitive new starts and two-thirds

will be non-competitive continuations,

will be funded in FY 1995.

Eligible applicants for the new starts

are current grantees with project periods
20688 Federal Register / Vol. 60, No. 81 / Thursday, April 27, 1995 / Notices

ending in FY 1995 and otherwise

eligible applicants not holding current

grants. The applications will be

reviewed by State, and awards will be

made during the last quarter of FY 1995

(July - September 1995).

Section 385(a)(2) of the Act requires

that 90 percent of the funds

appropriated under Part A (The

Runaway and Homeless Youth Grant

Program) be used to establish and

strengthen runaway and homeless youth

Basic Centers. Total funding under Part

A of the Act for FY 1995 is

approximately $40.5 million. This sum,

which is an increase over the FY 1994

level, triggers the provision in the Act

calling for a minimum award of

$100,000 to each State, the District of

Columbia, and Puerto Rico, and a

minimum award of $45,000 to each of

the four insular areas: the Virgin

Islands, Guam, American Samoa, and

the Commonwealth of the Northern

Marianas.

b. Transitional Living Program Grants

Part B, section 321 of the Runaway

and Homeless Youth Act, as amended,

authorizes grants to establish and

operate transitional living projects for

homeless youth. This program is

structured to help older, homeless youth

achieve self-sufficiency and avoid longterm 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.

In FY 1995, approximately $12.9

million is available for TLP direct

service grants. Approximately $6.3

million has already been awarded as

new start FY 1995 funding to applicants

that were successful in the competition

conducted at the end of FY 1994, and

the remaining $6.6 million will be

awarded as continuation funding to TLP

grants awarded in FY 1994. Further, it

is projected that all potential FY 1996

TLP funds will be awarded in the form

of continuation grants. In consequence,

no applications for new start

Transitional Living Program grants will

be solicited in FY 1995 for use of FY

1996 funds.

c. National Communications System

Part C, section 331 of the Runaway

and Homeless Youth Act, as amended,

mandates support for a National

Communications System to assist

runaway and homeless youth in

communicating with their families and

with service providers. In FY 1994, a

five-year grant was awarded to the

National Runaway Switchboard, Inc., in

Chicago, Illinois, to operate the system.

Non-competitive continuation funding

will be awarded to the grantee in FY

1995.

d. Support Services for Runaway and

Homeless Youth Programs

(1) Training and Technical Assistance

Part D, section 342 of the Act

authorizes the Department to make

grants to statewide and regional

nonprofit organizations to provide

training and technical assistance

(T&TA) to organizations that are eligible

to receive service grants under the Act.

Eligible organizations include the Basic

Centers authorized under Part A of the

Act (The Runaway and Homeless Youth

Grant Program) and the service grantees

authorized under Part B of the Act (The

Transitional Living Grant Program).

Section 3511 of the Anti-Drug Abuse

Act of 1988, which authorizes the Drug

Abuse Prevention Program for Runaway

and Homeless Youth (DAPP), also

authorizes support for T&TA to runaway

and homeless youth service providers.

The purpose of this T&TA is to

strengthen the programs and to enhance

the knowledge and skills of youth

service workers.

In FY 1994, the Family and Youth

Services Bureau made ten Cooperative

Agreement Awards, one in each of the

ten Federal Regions, to provide T&TA to

agencies funded under the three Federal

programs for runaway and homeless

youth (the BCP, the TLP, and the

DAPP). Each Cooperative Agreement is

unique, being based on the

characteristics and different T&TA

needs in the respective Regions. Each

has a five-year project period that will

expire in FY 1999.

Non-competitive continuation

funding will be awarded to the ten

T&TA grantees in FY 1995.

(2) National Clearinghouse on Runaway

and Homeless Youth

In June 1992, a five-year contract was

awarded by the Department to establish

and operate the National Clearinghouse

on Runaway and Homeless Youth. The

purpose of the Clearinghouse is to serve

as a central information point for

professionals and agencies involved in

the development and implementation of

services to runaway and homeless

youth. To this end, the Clearinghouse:

• Collects, evaluates and maintains

reports, materials and other products

regarding service provision to runaway

and homeless youth;

• Develops and disseminates reports

and bibliographies useful to the field;

• Identifies areas in which new or

additional reports, materials and

products are needed; and

• Carries out other activities designed

to provide the field with the information

needed to improve services to runaway

and homeless youth.

Non-competitive continuation

funding will be awarded to sustain the

Clearinghouse in FY 1995.

(3) Runaway and Homeless Youth

Management Information System

(RHYMIS)

In FY 1992, a three-year contract was

awarded to implement the Runaway and

Homeless Youth Management

Information System (RHYMIS) across

three FYSB programs: The BCP, the

TLP, and the DAPP. In FY 1993, using

an existing computer-based, information

gathering protocol, the contractor began

providing training and technical

assistance to these grantees in the use of

the RHYMIS. The data generated by the

system are used to produce reports and

information regarding the programs,

including information for the required

reports to Congress on each of the three

programs. The RHYMIS also serves as a

management tool for FYSB and for the

individual programs.

Non-competitive continuation

funding for the RHYMIS will be an

option in FY 1995.

(4) Monitoring Support for FYSB

Programs

In FY 1992, FYSB began developing a

comprehensive monitoring instrument

and set of site visit protocols, including

a peer-review component for the BCP,

the TLP, and the DAPP. Pilot

implementation of the instrument and

related protocols began in FY 1993. Also

in FY 1993 a new contract to provide

logistical support for the peer review

monitoring process was awarded,

including nationwide distribution of the

new materials. Use of the new

instrument and peer review process

during the first full year of operation has

resulted in identification of a number of

strengths and weaknesses among

individual grantees. These findings have

been used by the Regional T&TA

providers as a basis for their activities.

Non-competitive continuation

funding for the logistical contractor will

be provided in FY 1995, and a new

contract for the effort may be solicited

in FY 1996.

e. Research and Demonstration

Initiatives

Section 315 of the Act authorizes the

Department to make grants to States,

localities, and private entities to carry

out research, demonstration, and service

projects designed to increase knowledge

concerning and to improve services for

runaway and homeless youth. These
Federal Register / Vol. 60, No. 81 / Thursday, April 27, 1995 / Notices 20689

activities are important in order to

identify emerging issues and to develop

and test models which address such

issues.

(1) Services for Youth in Rural Areas

Because of geographic distances,

population density and, in some cases,

cultural differences, it is difficult to

provide effective services to runaway

and homeless youth in rural areas. In

many such areas, scarcity of funds and

other resources precludes funding of

separate, autonomous Basic Center

programs. The need exists for

innovative and effective models for the

provision of runaway and homeless

youth services in rural areas, including

Indian reservations. The new models

should make services accessible to

youth without setting up inordinately

expensive service agencies in low

populated areas. In FY 1993, first-year

funding was awarded to eight grants to

develop such models. Non-competitive

continuation funding was provided in

FY 1994 and will be provided in FY

1995.

(2) Analysis, Synthesis, and

Interpretation of New Information

Concerning Runaway and Homeless

Youth Programs

Over the past few years, considerable

new knowledge and information has

been developed concerning the runaway

and homeless youth programs

administered by FYSB, and concerning

the youth and families served. The main

sources of this new information are the

Runaway and Homeless Youth

Management Information System

(RHYMIS), the results of RHY

monitoring visits, and a number of

evaluation studies underway or recently

completed. The RHYMIS, monitoring

reports, and the evaluation studies

contain descriptions of FYSB’s grantee

agencies, along with detailed data on

the youth and families served, such as

demographic profiles, presenting

problems, services provided, and

service outcomes. There is need for

analysis, synthesis, and interpretation of

this new information that will be useful

in development of RHY plans and

policies for the Family and Youth

Services Bureau.

A contract will be awarded in FY

1995 to analyze, synthesize, and

develop the program and policy

implications of the new information

now becoming available. The study will

be developed within a context of the

most significant, current comprehensive

theories of youth development.

Proposals to conduct the study will be

solicited from the eight Master

Contractors for the ‘‘Policy and Program

Studies’’ consortium recently

established by the Administration on

Children, Youth and Families.

f. Priority for a Comprehensive Youth

Development Approach.

Over the past several decades, the

Federal government has established

many programs designed to alleviate

discrete problems identified among

American youth. Examples are programs

for school dropout prevention, juvenile

delinquency prevention, abuse and

neglect prevention, adolescent

pregnancy prevention, youth gang

prevention, drug abuse prevention, and

compensatory programs to improve the

performance of minority and nonEnglish-speaking youth in the public

schools. Among these many programs

are the BCP, the DAPP, and the TLP.

A shared feature of all these programs

is their emphasis on undesirable

behavior, with a number of negative

consequences. Youth ‘‘problems’’ are

commonly used to define and blame,

even to punish, the youth. Further, the

labeling of a youth as a drug abuser or

a delinquent may lead to interventions

too narrow to take into account the full

array of causes leading to the abuse or

delinquency, such as parental neglect,

school failure, or poverty. Practicing

youth workers are well aware that

‘‘single-problem’’ youth are rare, and

that interventions from many different

perspectives, and supports, including

funding, from many different sources,

are required to effectively help troubled

youth.

The disjointed services that often

follow from this Federal pattern of

categorical funding to correct

undesirable behavior (funding that

targets a single problem behavior of the

youth) may be avoided if interventions

are viewed from a ‘‘developmental’’

perspective. A developmental

perspective views adolescence and

youth as the passage from the almost

total dependence of the child into the

independence and self-sufficiency of the

young adult. The various changes,

stages, and growth spurts of the passage

may be considered as the youth’s

natural, healthy responses to the

challenges and opportunities provided

by functional families, peers,

neighborhoods, schools and churches.

The tasks of youth services providers

are seen, thus, not as correcting the

‘‘pathologies’’ of troubled youth, but

rather as providing for the successive

‘‘needs’’ of maturing individuals: The

psychological need to develop a clear

self-identity; the sociological need to

resolve disagreements through talking

and not through flight or fighting; the

economic need to prepare for and enter

into a career; and the familial needs for

sharing, for trusting, for giving love and

receiving love, for commitment, and for

all that establishing a family entails.

This developmental approach will

become central to all FYSB activities

and programs over the next two years.

g. Priorities for Administrative Changes

To support the increased emphasis on

youth development, a number of

management or administrative changes

will be implemented over the coming

years:

• The Regional Offices have and will

continue to play a significant role in the

assessment of grant applications. This

role includes Regional staff involvement

(1) as chairpersons for peer review

panels and (2) in conduct of

administrative reviews of new start

applications that take into account

knowledge about the applicants’

experience, effectiveness, and potential

and of the geographic distribution of the

grantees in their respective States and

Regions. Final funding decisions will

remain the responsibility of the

Commissioner of the Administration on

Children, Youth and Families.

• The Administration on Children

and Families (ACF) will change the

deadline for receipt of a Runaway and

Homeless Youth grant application from

the postal date of the application to the

actual receipt date of the application by

ACF. Applicants should carefully

examine receipt dates in this

announcement to assure that they meet

deadlines in the manner prescribed.

• Efforts will be continued to avoid

the problems of gaps in financial

support between the expiration of one

grant and the beginning of a new grant

for current grantees that are successful

in competition.

• Where possible, FYSB will attempt

to increase minimum grant funding

levels to amounts sufficient to support

the required youth services. However,

no minimum levels will be established

at this time and the recommendations of

Regional staff will be considered in this

matter. We suggest that all applicants

examine carefully the program

announcements to ensure that they

request sufficient funds.

F. Eligible Applicants

The various legislative Acts

authorizing the runaway and homeless

youth programs addressed in this

Federal Register announcement identify

‘‘eligible applicants’’ differently.

Accordingly, the definition appropriate

to each individual program is found in

Part III of this announcement as a part

of each program area description.
20690 Federal Register / Vol. 60, No. 81 / Thursday, April 27, 1995 / Notices

Basic Center Program grantees with

one or two years remaining on their

current awards and the expectation of

continuation funding in FY 1995 may

not apply for new Basic Center grants.

Drug Abuse Prevention Program

grantees with one or two years

remaining on their current awards and

the expectation of continuation funding

in FY 1995 may not apply for new Drug

Abuse Prevention Program grants. All

remaining eligible applicants may apply

for new grants for either or both of these

two programs.

Applicants may refer to Part VI,

Appendix D, for a listing of current

grantees that are ineligible to apply

under the respective grant programs.

Any non-profit organization

submitting an application must submit

proof of its non-profit status with its

application. Proof can include a copy of

the applicant’s listing in the Internal

Revenue Service’s (IRS) most recent list

of tax-exempt organizations described in

section 501(c)(3) of the IRS Code, or a

copy of the currently valid IRS taxexemption certificate, or a copy of the

articles of incorporation bearing the seal

of the State in which the corporation or

association is domiciled.

G. Availability of Competitive New-Start

Funds

The Administration on Children,

Youth and Families expects to award

approximately 540 new and

continuation grants to serve runaway

and homeless youth in FY 1995. Dollar

amounts to be awarded by fiscal year

and program are as follows:

1. Basic Center Program for Runaway

and Homeless Youth

The Administration on Children,

Youth and Families expects to award

approximately $36.4 million in Basic

Center Program grants in FY 1995. Of

this total, approximately $21.8 million

will be awarded in the form of noncompetitive continuations to current

grantees, and the remaining

approximately $14.6 million will be

available for competitive, new-start

awards. In accordance with the RHY

Act, the funds will be divided among

the States in proportion to their

respective populations under the age of

18. The FY 1995 funding level, which

is an increase over the FY 1994 level,

triggers the provision in the Act calling

for a minimum award of $100,000 to

each State, the District of Columbia, and

Puerto Rico, and a minimum award of

$45,000 to each of the four insular areas:

the Virgin Islands, Guam, American

Samoa, and the Commonwealth of the

Northern Marianas.

The funds available for both

continuations and new starts in each of

the States and insular areas are listed in

the Table of Allocations by State (Part

VI, Appendix H). In this Table, the

amounts shown in the column labeled

‘‘New Starts’’ are the amounts available

for competition in the respective States.

Current Basic Center Program grantees

having one or two years remaining in

their project periods will receive

instructions from their respective ACF

Regional Offices on the procedures for

applying for these continuation grants

and should not respond to this

announcement. These grantees are listed

in Part VI, Appendix D.1, have project

expiration dates in FY 1996 or 1997,

and are not eligible to apply for new

Basic Center grants.

Current Basic Center Program grantees

with project periods ending by

September 30, 1995, and all other

eligible applicants not currently

receiving Basic Center funds may apply

for the new competitive grants under

this announcement.

The number of new awards made

within each State will depend upon the

funds available (i.e., the State’s total

allotment less the amount required for

non-competing continuations), as well

as on the number of acceptable

applications. Therefore, where the

amount required for non-competing

continuations in any State equals the

State’s total allotment, no new awards

will be made.

All applicants under this

announcement will compete with other

applicants in the State in which their

services would be provided. In the event

that an insufficient number of

acceptable applications is approved for

funding from any State or jurisdiction,

the Commissioner, ACYF, will

reallocate the unused funds.

Further information on the BCP

application requirements is presented in

Part III, Section A, and in Part IV.

2. Drug Abuse Education and

Prevention Program for Runaway and

Homeless Youth

In FY 1995, the Administration on

Children, Youth and Families expects to

award approximately $4.5 million in

new competitive Drug Abuse Prevention

Program grants and $6.6 million in noncompeting continuation DAPP awards.

Further information on the DAPP

application requirements is presented in

Part III, Section B, and in Part IV.

H. Duration of Projects

This announcement solicits

applications for projects of up to three

years duration (36-month project

periods) for the BCP and the DAPP.

Initial grant awards, made on a

competitive basis, will be for one-year

(12-month) budget periods.

Applications for continuation grants

beyond the one-year budget periods, but

within the 36-month project periods,

will be entertained in subsequent years

on a non-competitive basis, subject to

the availability of funds, satisfactory

progress of the grantees, and

determination that continued funding

would be in the best interest of the

government.

I. Maximum Federal Award and Grantee

Share of the Project

The maximum amount of Federal

funds for which an applicant can apply

is specified in the program descriptions

found in Part III of this announcement.

The legislation authorizing runaway

and homeless youth programs requires

that grantees provide a non-Federal

match for Federal funds. In some cases,

this non-Federal share is a percent of

the total cost of the project and, in some

cases, it is a percent of the Federal

share. Specific non-Federal share

requirements for each Priority Area are

found in Part III of this announcement.

The non-Federal share may be met by

cash or in-kind contributions. Federal

funds provided to States and services or

other resources purchased with Federal

funds may not be used to match project

grants. Applicants which do not provide

the required percentage of non-Federal

share will not be funded. For-profit

applicants for Basic Center Program

grants are reminded that no grant funds

may be paid as profit to any recipient

of a grant or sub-grant (45 CFR 74.705).

Part II. Evaluation Criteria

The five criteria that follow will be

used to review and evaluate each

application under the BCP and the

DAPP and should be used in developing

the program narratives. The point values

following each criterion heading

indicate the numerical weight each

criterion will be accorded in the review

process. Note that the highest possible

value BCP and DAPP applications can

receive is 105 points. See Criterion 4 for

more specific information.

Criterion 1. Objectives and Need for

Assistance (15 Points)

derived from the project. State the

numbers of runaway and homeless

youth and their families to be served,

and describe the types and quantities of

services to be provided. Identify the

kinds of data to be collected and

maintained, and discuss the criteria to

be used to evaluate the results and

success of the project.

Criterion 3. Approach (35 Points)

Outline a plan of action pertaining to

the scope of the project and detail how

the proposed work will be

accomplished. Describe any unusual

features of the project, such as

extraordinary social and community

involvements, and how the project will

be maintained after termination of

Federal support. Explain the

methodology that will be used to

determine if the needs identified and

discussed are being met and if the

results and benefits identified are being

achieved.

Criterion 4. Staff Background and

Organizational Experience (20 Points)

List the organizations, cooperators,

consultants, or other key individuals

who will work on the project along with

a short description of the nature of their

effort or contribution. Summarize the

background and experience of the

project director and key project staff and

the history of the organization.

Demonstrate the ability to effectively

manage the project and to coordinate

activities with other agencies.

Applicants are encouraged to discuss

staff and organizational experience in

working with runaway and homeless

youth populations and may include

information regarding their past

performance under RHYP grants.

Applicants may refer to the staff

resumes and to the Organizational

Capability Statement included in the

submission.

Legislation authorizing each of the

Federal Runaway and Homeless Youth

Programs requires that priority for

funding be given to agencies with

experience in providing direct services

to runaway and homeless youth. In line

with this requirement, BCP and DAPP

applicants having three (3) or more

years of continuous effort serving

runaway and homeless youth in one or

more areas set forth in section 312 of the

Act are eligible to receive an additional

five (5) points on this criterion.

Criterion 5. Budget Appropriateness (10

Points)

Demonstrate that the project’s costs

(overall costs, average cost per youth

served, costs for different services) are

reasonable in view of the anticipated

results and benefits. (Applicants may

refer (1) to the budget information

presented in Standard Forms 424 and

424A and in the associated budget

justification, and (2) to the results or

benefits expected as identified under

Criterion 2.)

The Program Narrative information

provided by the applicant in response to

the priority area description identified

in Part III of this announcement should

be organized and presented according to

these five evaluation criteria.

Part III. Program Areas

A. Basic Center Program for Runaway

and Homeless Youth

Eligible Applicants: Any State, unit of

local government, combination of units

of local government, public or private

agency, organization, institution, or

other non-profit entity is eligible to

apply for these funds. Federally

recognized Indian Tribes are eligible to

apply for Basic Center grants. NonFederally recognized Indian Tribes and

urban Indian organizations are also

eligible to apply for grants as private,

non-profit agencies.

Grantees (including subgrantees) with

current Basic Center grants who are

eligible to apply for non-competitive

continuation funding in FY 1995 may

not apply for competitive new Basic

Center grants under this announcement.

Applicants may refer to Part VI,

Appendix D.1 for a listing of current

grantees which are ineligible for grants

under this priority area.

As required by runaway and homeless

youth legislation, priority for funding

will be given to agencies with

demonstrated experience establishing

and operating centers that provide

direct services to runaway and homeless

youth in a manner that is outside the

law enforcement system, the child

welfare system, the mental health

system and the juvenile justice system.

Demonstrated experience providing

direct services means three (3) or more

years of continuous effort serving

runaway and homeless youth in one or

more areas set forth in section 312 of the

Act. Applications claiming credit for

this preference must include a statement

of no more than one page documenting

the relevant experience.

Program Purpose, Goals, and

Objectives: The Administration on

Children, Youth and Families will

award approximately 115 new service

grants to establish or strengthen existing

or proposed runaway and homeless

youth Basic Centers. These programs

must be locally controlled efforts that

provide temporary shelter, counseling

and related services to juveniles who

have left home without permission of

their parents or guardians or to other

homeless juveniles.

Applications are solicited under this

program area to provide direct services

that fulfill the program purposes, goals

and objectives set forth in the legislation

and as specified in Part I, section C.1 of

this announcement.

Background: The Runaway Youth and

Homeless Youth Act of 1974 was a

response to widespread concern

regarding the alarming number of youth

who were leaving home without

parental permission, crossing State

lines, and who, while away from home,

were exposed to exploitation and other

dangers of street life.

Each Basic Center funded under the

authorizing legislation is required to

provide outreach to runaway and

homeless youth; temporary shelter for

up to fifteen days; food; clothing;

individual, group, and family

counseling; and related services. Many

Basic Centers provide their services in

residential settings with a capacity for

no more than 20 youth. Some centers

also provide some or all of their shelter

services through host homes (usually

private homes under contract to the

centers), with counseling and referrals

being provided from a central location.

Currently, approximately 60,000

youth annually receive shelter for an

average of 12 nights and other ongoing

services through ACYF-funded Basic

Centers. The primary presenting

problems of these youth include conflict

with parents or other adults, including

physical and sexual abuse; other family

crises such as divorce, death, or sudden

loss of income; and personal problems

such as drug use, or problems with

peers, school attendance and truancy,

bad grades, inability to get along with

teachers, and learning disabilities.

Low self-esteem is a major problem

among this population. Half have a poor

self image; somewhat less than half are

depressed; and 10 percent are possibly

suicidal.

After receiving ongoing services from

shelter programs, approximately one

half of the youth return to their families.

One-third are provided alternative, but

safe, long-term living arrangements.

Five percent return to the streets, and 10
20692 Federal Register / Vol. 60, No. 81 / Thursday, April 27, 1995 / Notices

percent leave the centers with no known

destination.

Federal Register / Vol. 60, No. 81 / Thursday, April 27, 1995 / Notices 20693

Staff Background and Organizational

Experience

1. As priority for funding will be

given to agencies and organizations that

have documented experience in

establishing and operating centers that

provide direct services to runaway and

homeless youth, applicant must include

a brief description of the organization

and its experience in providing services

to this client population.

2. Applicant must include a

description of current and proposed

staff skills and knowledge regarding

runaway and homeless youth and

indicate how staff will be utilized in

achieving the goals and objectives of the

program. Information on proposed staff

training and brief resumes or job

descriptions may be included.

3. Applicant must describe

procedures for maintaining

confidentiality of records on the youth

and families served. Procedures must

insure that no information on the youth

and families is disclosed without the

consent of the individual youth, parent

or legal guardian. Disclosures without

consent can be made to another agency

compiling statistical records if

individual identities are not provided or

to a government agency involved in the

disposition of criminal charges against

an individual runaway or homeless

youth.

4. Applicant must describe how the

project has established or will establish

formal service linkages with other social

service, law enforcement, educational,

housing, vocational, welfare, legal

service, drug treatment and health care

agencies in order to ensure appropriate

referrals for the project clients when

needed.

5. Applicant must describe how

community and other support will be

secured to continue the project at the

conclusion of the Federal grant period.

Budget Appropriateness

1. Applicant must discuss and justify

the costs of the proposed project in

terms of numbers of youth and families

to be served, types and quantities of

services to be provided, and the

anticipated outcomes for the youth and

families.

2. The applicant must describe the

fiscal control and accounting

procedures that will be used to ensure

prudent use, proper disbursement, and

accurate accounting of funds received

under this program announcement.

Duration of Project: This

announcement solicits applications for

Basic Center projects 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 continuation grants

beyond the one-year budget periods, but

within the 36-month project periods,

will be entertained in subsequent years

on a non-competitive basis, 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.

Federal Share of Project Costs:

Priority will be given to applicants

which apply for less than $200,000 per

year. The maximum Federal share for a

3-year project period is $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. 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 threeyear project requesting $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).

B. Drug Abuse Education and

Prevention Program for Runaway and

Homeless Youth (DAPP)

Eligible Applicants: Any State, unit of

local government (or combination of

units of local government), public or

non-profit private agency, organization,

institution, or other non-profit entity is

eligible to apply for these funds.

Federally recognized Indian Tribes are

eligible to apply for DAPP grants. NonFederally recognized Indian Tribes and

urban Indian organizations are also

eligible to apply for grants as private,

non-profit agencies.

Grantees (including subgrantees) with

current DAPP grants with 12 or more

months remaining in their project

periods may not apply for new DAPP

grants under this announcement.

Applicants may refer to Part VI,

Appendix D.2. for a listing of current

grantees which are ineligible to apply

for grants under this priority area. No

more than one grant per legal entity

(organization) will be awarded under

this priority area. Organizations

submitting more than one application

for DAPP funds must understand that

only one application will be considered

for funding.

Legislation authorizing each of the

Federal Runaway and Homeless Youth

Programs requires that priority for

funding be given to agencies with

experience in providing direct services

to runaway and homeless youth. In line

with this requirement, applicants which

have three (3) or more years of

continuous effort serving runaway and

homeless youth in one or more areas set

forth in Section 312 of the Act are

eligible to receive an additional five (5)

points in this criterion. Applications

claiming credit for this preference must

include a statement of no more than one

page documenting the relevant

experience. Empirical or applied

research experience is not considered

direct service.

Program Purpose, Goals and

Objectives: The Administration on

Children, Youth and Families will

award approximately 45 new grants to

support services within a community to

maintain, improve and/or expand drug

abuse prevention, early intervention,

and reduction of drug dependency

services to runaway and homeless youth

and their families. Applications are

solicited under this priority area to carry

out direct service projects designed to

address the issue of drug abuse among

runaway and homeless youth in the

applicant’s community as required by

the goals and objectives set forth in the

legislation and specified in Part I,

section C.2. of this announcement.

Activities that may be maintained,

improved and/or expanded through a

DAPP grant include but are not

necessarily limited to:

1. Improving networking and service

coordination to increase the availability

of services to runaway and homeless

youth;

2. Expanding outreach activities,

particularly street-based outreach

programs;

3. Providing individual, family,

group, and/or peer prevention and

intervention counseling related to

alcohol and other drug use;

4. Strengthening intake and

assessment procedures for substance

abuse at runaway and homeless youth

shelters;

5. Coordinating services with drug

treatment facilities and making referrals

to treatment that are geared to the

runaway and homeless youth

population;

6. Providing aftercare and follow-up

services to runaway and homeless youth

with substance abuse problems who

have received shelter and/or nonresidential services;

7. Increasing staff knowledge and

skills related to working with runaway

and homeless youth with substance

abuse problems by improving or

accessing training opportunities;

8. Improving programming to address

the unique cultural needs and concerns

of minority runaway and homeless

youth;
20694 Federal Register / Vol. 60, No. 81 / Thursday, April 27, 1995 / Notices

9. Involving and educating parents,

siblings and peers of runaway and

homeless youth receiving drug abuse

prevention services;

10. Developing and implementing

programs designed to reduce drug

involvement among the target

population by improving coping skills

and reducing stress factors arising from

such problems as homelessness, family

dysfunction, and peer pressure; and

11. Establishing linkages with

community mental health programs that

will provide comprehensive substance

abuse counseling and/or treatment to

runaway and homeless youth.

Efforts that will not be funded under

this priority area include research and

demonstration projects on illicit drug

use by runaway and homeless youth,

and the direct provision of drug

treatment services such as those services

provided in a medical setting or by

medical personnel.

This priority area is specifically

targeted to runaway and homeless

youth. Potential applicants interested in

providing drug abuse prevention

services to high-risk youth other than

those who are runaways or homeless are

encouraged to contact the Center for

Substance Abuse Prevention (CSAP).

For information on CSAP grant

programs and other drug abuse

prevention resources, applicants should

contact the National Clearinghouse for

Alcohol and Drug Information, P.O. Box

2345, Rockville, Maryland 20847–2345;

telephone: 1–800–729–6686.

Background: Abuse of drugs has had

an increasingly severe effect on runaway

and homeless youth. In 1994,

approximately 20 percent of youth

entering the Basic Centers identified

alcohol and other illicit drugs as a

personal problem. Approximately the

same percentage identified substance

abuse by household members as a

problem.

The Drug Abuse Education and

Prevention Program (DAPP) provides

Federal Assistance to comprehensively

address the problem of drug

involvement among runaway and

homeless youth. Since the program’s

inception in 1989, ACYF has awarded

approximately $90 million in

discretionary grants to approximately

475 agencies and organizations located

throughout the United States, including

Puerto Rico and the Virgin Islands.

While varying degrees of success have

been reported by DAPP grantees, many

of the most promising programs have

implemented one or more of the

following components:

1. Candid discussions between youth

and street-wise peer counselors and/or

recovering youth substance abusers who

can discuss addiction and recovery from

their personal experience;

2. Sessions in which youth obtain

accurate facts on any and all aspects of

substance abuse and treatment;

3. Presentation of decision-making

and self-assertiveness skills and

techniques that assist youth in making

independent choices and avoiding druginvolved friends and environments;

4. Counseling and/or other strategies

for helping youth to understand both

the underlying causes of drug use and

the effect of drugs on them, their

families, their peers and their

communities;

5. Educational information that

portrays the consequences of

overdosing, the effects of drug

withdrawal, and the increased chances

of contracting the HIV virus and AIDS;

and

6. The provision of specific and

realistic information on various

treatment options that are available,

assistance in enrolling in such

programs, and appropriate follow-up by

the service provider.

and homeless youth, applicant must

include a brief description of the

organization and its experience in

providing services to this client

population.

2. Applicant must include a brief

description of current and proposed

staff skills and knowledge regarding

compiling statistical records if

individual identities are not provided or

to a government agency involved in the

disposition of criminal charges against

an individual runaway or homeless

youth.)

Budget Appropriateness

1. Applicant must discuss and justify

the costs of the proposed project in

terms of numbers of youth and families

to be served, types and quantities of

services to be provided, and the

anticipated outcomes for the youth and

families.

2. The applicant must describe the

fiscal control and accounting

procedures that will be used to ensure

prudent use, proper disbursement, and

accurate accounting of funds received

under this program announcement.

Duration of Project: This

announcement solicits applications for

Drug Abuse Prevention Projects 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 continuation grants

beyond the one-year budget periods, but

within the 36-month project periods,

will be entertained in subsequent years

on a non-competitive basis, 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.

Federal Share of Project Costs: Up to

$100,000 per year, which equals a

maximum Federal share of $300,000 for

a 3-year project period.

Applicant Share of Project Costs: Drug

Abuse Prevention Program grantees

must provide at least 25 percent of the

total approved cost of the project. The

total approved cost of the project is the

sum of the ACF share and the nonFederal share. 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 project

requesting $300,000 in Federal funds

over a three-year project period (based

on an award of $100,000 per 12-month

budget period) must include a match of

at least $100,000 (= 25 percent of

$400,000, the total approved cost of the

project).

Part IV. Application Process

A. Assistance to Prospective Grantees

Potential grantees can receive

informational assistance in developing

applications from the appropriate ACF

Regional Youth Contacts listed in Part

(OMB) for review and approval any

reporting and record-keeping

requirements in regulations, including
20696 Federal Register / Vol. 60, No. 81 / Thursday, April 27, 1995 / Notices

program announcements. This program

announcement does not contain

information collection requirements

beyond those approved for grant

applications under OMB Control

Number 0348–0043.

D. Notification Under Executive Order

12372

This program is covered under

Executive Order (E.O.) 12372,

‘‘Intergovernmental Review of Federal

Programs,’’ and 45 CFR Part 100,

‘‘Intergovernmental Review of

Department of Health and Human

Services Programs and Activities.’’

Under the Order, States may design

their own processes for reviewing and

commenting on proposed Federal

assistance under covered programs.

All States and Territories except

Alabama, Alaska, Colorado,

Connecticut, Hawaii, Idaho, Kansas,

Louisiana, Minnesota, Montana,

Nebraska, Oklahoma, Oregon,

Pennsylvania, South Dakota, Virginia,

Washington, American Samoa and

Palau have elected to participate in the

Executive Order process and have

established Single Points of Contact

(SPOCs). Applicants from these 19

jurisdictions need take no action

regarding E.O. 12372. Applications for

projects to be administered by

Federally-recognized Indian Tribes are

also exempt from the requirements of

E.O. 12372. Otherwise, applicants must

contact their SPOCs as soon as possible

to alert them to the prospective

application and receive any necessary

instructions. Applicants must submit

any required material to the SPOCs as

early as possible so that the program

office can obtain and review SPOC

comments as part of the award process.

It is imperative that the applicant

submit all required materials, if any, to

the SPOC and indicate the date of this

submittal (or date of contact if no

submittal is required) on the Standard

Form 424, item 16a.

Under 45 CFR 100.8(a)(2), a SPOC has

60 days from the application deadline

date to comment on proposed new or

competing continuation awards.

SPOCs are encouraged to eliminate

the submission of routine endorsements

as official recommendations.

Additionally, SPOCS are requested to

clearly differentiate between mere

advisory comments and those official

State process recommendations which

they intend to trigger the ‘‘accommodate

or explain’’ rule.

When comments are submitted

directly to ACF, they must be addressed

to: Department of Health and Human

Services, Administration for Children

and Families, Division of Discretionary

Grants, 370 L’Enfant Promenade, SW,

Washington, DC 20447.

A list of the Single Points of Contact

for each State and Territory is included

as Part VI, Appendix G, of this

announcement.

Availability of Forms and Other

Materials

A copy of the forms required to be

submitted as part of each application for

a runaway and homeless youth grant,

and instructions for completing the

application, are provided in Part VI,

Appendix I. The Basic Center Program

Performance Standards as well as

descriptions of the National Runaway

Switchboard and the National

Clearinghouse on Runaway and

Homeless Youth are presented in Part

VI, Appendices A, B and C. Addresses

of the State Single Points of Contact

(SPOCs) to which applicants must

submit review copies of their proposals

are listed in Part VI, Appendix G.

Legislation referenced in Part I,

section B, of this announcement may be

found in major public libraries and at

the ACF Regional Offices listed in Part

VI, Appendix E, at the end of this

announcement.

Additional copies of this

announcement may be obtained from

the ACF Regional Offices or by calling

the telephone number listed at the

beginning of this announcement.

Further general information may be

obtained from the Training and

Technical Assistance Providers listed in

Part VI, Appendix F.

F. Application Consideration

All applications which are complete

and conform to the requirements of this

program announcement will be subject

to a competitive review and evaluation

process against the specific criteria

outlined in Part II of this announcement

and the specific Minimum

Requirements for Project Design

contained in Part III of this

announcement. This review will be

conducted in Washington, DC, by teams

of non-Federal experts knowledgeable

in the areas of youth development and

human service programs. Applications

for Basic Center Program grants will be

reviewed competitively only with other

applications from the same State.

Applications for Drug Abuse Prevention

Program grants will be reviewed as part

of a national competition.

Non-Federal experts will review the

applications based on the Evaluation

Criteria listed in Part II of this

announcement and the specific

Minimum Requirements for Project

Design contained in Part III of this

announcement, and will assign a score

to each application. Both Central and

Regional office staff will conduct

administrative reviews of the

applications and the results of the

competitive reviews and will select

those applications to be recommended

for funding to the Commissioner, ACYF.

The Commissioner will make the final

selection of the applicants to be funded.

As required by runaway and homeless

youth legislation, priority for funding

will be given to agencies with

demonstrated experience in providing

direct services to runaway and homeless

youth. However, current grantees

ending three-year funding periods, and

applying as new applicants for funds

under this program announcement, are

reminded that when the current project

periods end so does the funding

agency’s obligation for future awards.

Criterion 3, Approach, requires

applicants to specifically discuss how

their projects will be maintained after

termination of Federal support.

In addition to scores assigned by nonFederal reviewers and Regional Office

Reviewers, consideration will be given

to adequate geographic distribution of

services, and the Commissioner may

show preference for applications

proposing services in areas that would

not otherwise be served. The

Commissioner also may elect to

consider applicants’ past performance

in providing services to runaway and

homeless youth and also may elect not

to fund any applicants having known

management, fiscal, reporting (as under

the RHYMIS), or other problems which

make it unlikely that they would be able

to provide effective services.

Grant awards for Basic Center

Program and Drug Abuse Prevention

Program Grants will be made by

September 30, 1995. Successful

applicants will be notified through the

issuance of a Financial Assistance

Award which will set forth the amount

of funds granted, the terms and

conditions of the grant, the effective

date of the grant, the budget period for

which initial support will be given, the

non-Federal share to be provided, and

the total project period for which

support is contemplated. Organizations

whose applications will not be funded

will be notified of that decision in

writing by the Commissioner of the

Administration on Children, Youth and

Families. Every effort will be made to

notify all unsuccessful applicants as

soon as possible after final decisions are

made, including grantees whose threeyear project periods end in FY 1995.

Applicants applying for more than

one runaway and homeless youth grant

(Basic Center Program (BCP), Drug

Abuse Prevention Program (DAPP))
Federal Register / Vol. 60, No. 81 / Thursday, April 27, 1995 / Notices 20697

must submit separate and complete

applications for each program. BCP and

DAPP applications that combine the two

programs in a single proposal will not

be reviewed.

Project Design.

The pages of the narrative statement

must be numbered and are limited to 40

typed pages, double spaced, printed on

only one side, with at least 1⁄2 inch

margins. Applications which contain a

program narrative statement longer than

40 double-spaced pages will not be

reviewed or considered for funding. In

addition, please note that previous

attempts by applicants to circumvent

space limitations or to exceed page

limits by using small print have resulted

in negative responses from reviewers

because of the difficulty in reviewing

the application. It is in the best interest

of the applicants to ensure that the

narrative statements are easy to read,

logically developed in accordance with

evaluation criteria, and adhere to page

limitations.

6. Organizational Capability

Statement (pages OCS–1 and following;

Part VI. Appendices

Appendix A. Basic Center Program

Performance Standards

Program Performance Standards

I. Purpose

The Program Performance Standards

established by the Bureau for its funded

centers relate to the basic program

components enumerated in section 317

of the Runaway and Homeless Youth

Act and as further detailed in the

Regulations and Program Guidance

governing the implementation of the

Act. They address the methods and

processes by which the needs of

runaway and homeless youth and their

families are being met, as opposed to the

outcome of the services provided on the

clients served.

The terms ‘‘program performance

standard,’’ ‘‘criterion,’’ and ‘‘indicators’’

are used throughout both the instrument

and the instructions. These terms are

defined as follows:

Program Performance Standard: The

general principle against which a

judgment can be made to determine

whether a service or an administrative

component has achieved a particular

level of attainment.

Criterion: A specific dimension or

aspect of a program performance

standard which helps to define that

standard and which is amenable to

direct observation or measurement.

Indicator: The specific documentation

which demonstrates whether a criterion

(or an aspect of a criterion) is being met

and thereby the extent to which a

specific aspect of a standard is being

met.

Fourteen program performance

standards, with related criteria, are

established by the Bureau for the

projects funded under the Runaway and

Homeless Youth Act. Nine of these

standards relate to service components

(outreach, individual intake process,

temporary shelter, individual and group

counseling, family counseling, service

linkages, aftercare services, recreational

programs, and case disposition), and

five to administrative functions or

activities (staffing and staff

development, youth participation,

individual client files, ongoing project

planning, and board of directors/

advisory body).

Although fiscal management is not

included as a program performance

standard, it is viewed by FYSB as being

an essential element in the operation of

its funded projects. Therefore, as

validation visits are made, the Regional

ACF specialist and/or staff from the

Office of Fiscal Operations will also

review the project’s financial

management activities.

FYSB views these program

performance standards as constituting

the minimum standards to which its

funded projects should conform. The

primary assumption underlying the

program performance standards is that

the service and administrative

components which are encompassed

within these standards are integral (but

not sufficient in themselves) to a

program of services which effectively

addresses the crisis and long-term needs

of runaway and homeless youth and

their families.

The program performance standards

are designed to serve as a

developmental tool, and are to be

employed by both the project staff and

the Regional ACF staff specialists in

identifying those service and

administrative components and

activities of individual projects which

require strengthening and/or

development either through internal

action on the part of staff or through the

provision of external technical

assistance.

II. Program Performance Standards and

Instructions for the SF–424A

General Instructions

This form is designed so that application

can be made for funds from one or more grant

programs. In preparing the budget, adhere to

any existing Federal grantor agency

guidelines which prescribe how and whether

budgeted amounts should be separately

shown for different functions or activities

within the program. For some programs,

grantor agencies may require budgets to be

separately shown by function or activity. For

other programs, grantor agencies may require

a breakdown by function or activity. Sections

A,B,C, and D should include budget

estimates for the whole project except when

applying for assistance which requires

Federal authorization in annual or other

funding period increments. In the latter case,

Sections A,B,C, and D should provide the

budget for the first budget period (usually a

year) and Section E should present the need

for Federal assistance in the subsequent

budget periods. All applications should

contain a breakdown by the object class

categories shown in Lines a-k of Section B.

Section A. Budget Summary

Lines 1–4, Columns (a) and (b)

For applications pertaining to a single

Federal grant program (Federal Domestic

Assistance Catalog number) and not requiring

a functional or activity breakdown, enter on

Line 1 under Column (a) the catalog program

title and the catalog number in Column (b).

For applications pertaining to a single

program requiring budget amounts by

multiple functions or activities, enter the

name of each activity or function on each

line in Column (a), and enter the catalog

number in Column (b). For applications

pertaining to multiple programs where none

of the programs require a breakdown by

function or activity, enter the catalog

program title on each line in column (a) and

the respective catalog number on each line in

Column (b).

For applications pertaining to multiple

programs where one or more programs

require a breakdown by function or activity,

prepare a separate sheet for each program

requiring the breakdown. Additional sheets

should be used when one form does not

provide adequate space for all breakdown of

data required. However, when more than one

sheet is used, the first page should provide

the summary totals by programs.

Lines 1–4, Columns (c) Through (g)

For new applications, leave Columns (c)

and (d) blank. For each line entry in Columns

(a) and (b), enter in Columns (e), (f), and (g)

the appropriate amounts of funds needed to

support the project for the first funding

period (usually a year).

For continuing grant program applications,

submit these forms before the end of each

funding period as required by the grantor

agency. Enter in Columns (c) and (d) the

estimated amounts of funds which will

remain obligated at the end of the grant

funding period only if the Federal grantor

agency instructions provide for this.

Otherwise, leave these columns blank. Enter

in columns (e) and (f) the amounts of funds

needed for the incoming period. The

amount(s) in Column (g) should be the sum

of amounts in columns (e) and (f).

For supplemental grants and changes to

existing grants, do not use Columns (c) and

(d). Enter in Column (e) the amount of the

increase or decrease of Federal funds and

enter in Column (f) the amount of the

increase or decrease of non-Federal funds. In

Column (g) enter the new total budgeted

amount (Federal and non-Federal) which

includes the total previous authorized

budgeted amounts plus or minus, as

appropriate, the amounts shown in Columns

(e) and (f). The amount(s) in Column (g)

should not equal the sum of amounts in

Columns (e) and (f).

Line 5—Show the totals for all columns

used.

Section B. Budget Categories

In the column headings (1) through (4),

enter the titles of the same programs,

functions, and activities shown on Lines 1–

4, Column (a), Section A. When additional

sheets are prepared for Section A, provide

similar column headings on each sheet. For

each program, function or activity, fill in the

total requirements for funds (both Federal

and non-Federal) by object class categories.

Lines 6a–i—Show the totals of Lines 6a to

6h in each column.

Line 6j—Show the amount of indirect cost.

Line 6k—Enter the total of amounts on

Lines 6i and 6J. For all applications for new

A, Column (g), Line 5. For supplemental

grants and changes to grants, the total

amount of the increase or decrease as shown

in Columns (1)–(4), Line 6k should be the

same as the sum of the amounts in Section

A, Columns (e) and (f) on Line 5.

amount of program income may be

considered by the federal grantor agency in

determining the total amount of the grant.

Line 8–11—Enter amounts of non-Federal

resources that will be used on the grant. If

in-kind contributions are included, provide a

brief explanation on a separate sheet.

identical to Column (a), Section A. A

breakdown by function or activity is not

necessary.

Column (b)—Enter the contribution to be

made by the applicant.

supplements) to funds for the current year of

existing grants.

If more than four lines are needed to list

the program titles, submit additional

schedules as necessary.

under the Drug-Free Workplace Act. False

certification or violation of the certification

shall be grounds for suspension of payments,

suspension or termination of grants, or

governmentwide suspension or debarment.

Workplaces under grants, for grantees other

than individuals, need not be identified on

the certification. If known, they may be

identified in the grant application. If the

grantee does not identify the workplaces at

the time of application, or upon award, if

there is no application, the grantee must keep

the identity of the workplace(s) on file in its

office and make the information available for

Federal inspection. Failure to identify all

known workplaces constitutes a violation of

the grantee’s drug-free workplace

requirements.

Workplace identifications must include the

actual address of buildings (or parts of

buildings) or other sites where work under

the grant takes place. Categorical descriptions

may be used (e.g., all vehicles of a mass

transit authority or State highway department

while in operation, State employees in each

local unemployment office, performers in

concert halls or radio studios).

If the workplace identified to HHS changes

during the performance of the grant, the

grantee shall inform the agency of the

change(s), if it previously identified the

workplaces in question (see above).

Definitions of terms in the

Nonprocurement Suspension and Debarment

common rule and Drug-Free Workplace

common rule apply to this certification.

Grantees’ attention is called, in particular, to

the following definitions from these rules:

‘‘Controlled substance’’ means a controlled

substance in Schedules I through V of the

Controlled Substances Act (21 USC 812) and

as further defined by regulation (21 CFR

1308.11 through 1308.15).
20716 Federal Register / Vol. 60, No. 81 / Thursday, April 27, 1995 / Notices

‘‘Conviction’’ means a finding of guilt

(including a plea of nolo contendere) or

imposition of sentence, or both, by any

judicial body charged with the responsibility

to determine violations of the Federal or

State criminal statutes;

‘‘Criminal drug statute’’ means a Federal or

non-Federal criminal statute involving the

manufacture, distribution, dispensing, use, or

possession of any controlled substance;

workers not on the payroll of the grantee

(e.g., volunteers, even if used to meet a

matching requirement; consultants or

independent contractors not on the grantee’s

payroll; or employees of subrecipients or

subcontractors in covered workplaces).

The grantee certifies that it will or will

continue to provide a drug-free workplace by:

employee to be engaged in the performance

of the grant be given a copy of the statement

required by paragraph (a);

(d) Notifying the employee in the statement

required by paragraph (a) that, as a condition

of employment under the grant, the employee

will:

(1) Abide by the terms of the statement;

and, (2) Notify the employer in writing of his

or her conviction for a violation of a criminal

drug statute occurring in the workplace no

later than five calendar days after such

conviction;

(e) Notifying the agency in writing, within

ten calendar days after receiving notice under

subparagraph (d)(2) from an employee or

otherwise receiving actual notice of such

conviction. Employers of convicted

employees must provide notice, including

position title, to every grant officer or other

designee on whose grant activity the

convicted employee was working, unless the

Federal agency has designated a central point

of the receipt of such notices. Notice shall

include the identification number(s) of each

affected grant;

(f) Taking one of the following actions,

within 30 calendar days of receiving notice

under subparagraph (d)(2), with respect to
