The Department of Health and Human Services' Administration for Children and Families awarded a $396,000 Project Grant under the Basic Center Program (CFDA 93.623) to the Mountain-Plains Youth Services Coalition, doing business as Youthworks, a non-profit organization in North Dakota. The grant, effective from September 30, 2024 to September 29, 2027, will support Youthworks' efforts to provide emergency shelter, crisis intervention, counseling, family reunification assistance, and referrals for healthcare and social services to runaway and homeless youth under the age of 18. As a sub-awardee, Youthworks will also partner with state agencies and local governments on initiatives such as emergency shelter operations, victim assistance, and services for system-involved youth. The Basic Center Program aims to strengthen the capacity of community-based organizations to address the immediate needs of vulnerable young people and prevent their entry into law enforcement, child welfare, mental health, or juvenile justice systems.
