Synopsis
The Administration for Children and Families (ACF), Administration on Children, Youth and Families (ACYF), Family and Youth Services Bureau (FYSB) will award one cooperative agreement on a competitive basis for a period of three years to operate the National Communication System (NCS) for Runaway and Homeless Youth Program. The NCS Program is a dedicated toll-free, U.S. national communication system that provides information, referral services, crisis intervention, prevention approaches, and other supportive services to vulnerable, at-risk, and runaway and homeless youth and their families or legal guardians. The purpose of the NCS is to a) prevent youth from running away and becoming homeless, and b) link youth with a family member or guardian, and/or an available resource that can provide and/or assist the youth in acquiring needed services, and c) increase prevention education to reduce runaway incidents and youth homelessness. To fulfill the objectives of the legislation, the NCS must provide, among other services, a neutral and confidential channel of communication (online and off lines services) that is available on a 24-hours per day, seven days per week, basis throughout the United States to ensure a youth contemplating running away, youth who are on the run, and those experiencing homelessness can receive crisis services interventions and referrals or re- establish communication with their parents or legal guardians if possible. The NCS Program is also expected to work closely and collaboratively with FYSB to fulfill its mission as the federally funded Communication System Program for Runaway and Homeless Youth. A full description of services and requirements for the NCS Program recipient will be provided in the published announcement.
