The Administration on Children, Youth and Families (ACYF) awarded Shiloh Home Inc. (doing business as Shiloh House) a Basic Center Program grant (CFDA 93.623) in the amount of $301,835 effective September 30, 2025, through September 29, 2028. Under this three-year project period, Shiloh House delivers emergency shelter, crisis intervention, and family reunification services to runaway and homeless youth under 18 years of age through the Colorado Rural Collaborative initiative. The organization provides up to 21 days of temporary emergency shelter along with comprehensive support services including counseling, food, clothing, health care referrals, and case management designed to prevent youth from entering law enforcement, child welfare, mental health, or juvenile justice systems.

The Basic Center Program grant funds Shiloh House's capacity to serve vulnerable youth populations through immediate crisis response and aftercare services with an emphasis on family reunification whenever safe and appropriate. This award reflects the standard three-year project structure with annual 12-month budget periods typical of Basic Center Program grants, which historically range from $165,000 to $772,140 and concentrate in the $250,000-$350,000 funding range. The program complies with HHS administrative requirements and undergoes annual non-competing continuation reviews based on satisfactory progress and fund availability.
