Federal Grant Award Summary

Youth and Family Services of North Central Oklahoma Inc. received a $350,000 Project Grant from the Administration on Children Youth and Families under the Basic Center Program (CFDA 93.623) for the period September 30, 2025 through September 29, 2028. The grant funds the delivery of emergency shelter and support services to runaway and homeless youth under age 18 in Oklahoma City, Oklahoma. Core services include up to 21 days of temporary emergency shelter, food, clothing, individual and family counseling, and health care referrals. The program emphasizes family reunification whenever safe or identifies appropriate alternative placements to prevent youth from entering law enforcement, child welfare, mental health, or juvenile justice systems.

The award supports the establishment and strengthening of community-based services addressing the immediate needs of runaway and homeless youth and their families. Services are delivered through a three-year project period with annual budget periods contingent upon satisfactory progress and fund availability, consistent with standard Basic Center Program award structures that allocate funding across multiple eligible recipients nationwide to provide comprehensive crisis intervention and aftercare services.
