Federal Grant Award Summary

Claremont Learning Partnership received a $297,316 Project Grant award from the Administration on Children, Youth and Families (ACYF) under the Basic Center Program (CFDA 93.623), effective September 30, 2025 through September 29, 2028. Through this award, the organization operates the OASIS Basic Center Program, which provides comprehensive emergency services to youth under 18 years of age who are runaway, homeless, or at risk of entering the child welfare, law enforcement, or juvenile justice systems. Core services include up to 21 days of emergency shelter, food, clothing, crisis counseling, and referrals for health care. The program prioritizes family reunification when safe or identifies appropriate alternative placements for youth who cannot return home.

The Basic Center Program is designed to address the immediate needs of runaway and homeless youth through community-based intervention, serving as a prevention mechanism to keep vulnerable youth out of higher-risk systems. Claremont Learning Partnership's award is part of a broader federal initiative that distributed approximately $23.4 million across 67 awards in 2025, with individual awards ranging from approximately $102,000 to $350,000 over three-year performance periods. The organization's experience managing multiple federal and state grants related to youth homelessness services, including transitional living programs and educational support initiatives, demonstrates its organizational capacity to deliver these federally-funded services effectively.
