The Department of Health and Human Services Administration for Children and Families awarded Pivot, Inc. $700,000 on September 30, 2025, under the Basic Center Program (CFDA 93.623) to provide emergency shelter, food, clothing, counseling, and health care referrals to runaway and homeless youth under 18 years of age in Oklahoma City. The award funds temporary shelter for up to 21 days per youth, with case management and family reunification services or identification of alternative appropriate placements. Performance runs through September 29, 2028, at the recipient's Oklahoma City location. The Basic Center Program provides outreach and crisis intervention to youth who have left home without parental permission, have been forced from home, cannot safely remain with family members, or lack other safe living arrangements and might otherwise enter law enforcement, child welfare, mental health, or juvenile justice systems. Awards under this program are generally structured as three-year project periods with three consecutive 12-month budget periods.
