Central Texas Youth Services Bureau

Central Texas Youth Services Bureau Inc. is a non-profit organization registered in SAM.gov since 2011, located in Belton, Texas, focusing on youth support services. As a tax-exempt corporate entity, the organization specializes in providing comprehensive assistance and support programs for at-risk and homeless youth, primarily operating in Bell, Coryell, and McLennan Counties. The organization receives federal grant awards exclusively from the Administration on Children Youth and Families, a civilian agency within the U.S. Department of Health and Human Services, demonstrating a consistent commitment to youth welfare and intervention services.

The organization's federal grant awards predominantly support residential and crisis intervention programs for homeless and at-risk youth aged 16-21. Specific grant-funded programs include the Transitional Living Program II (TLPII), which provides residential housing, education and employment support, life skills training, and counseling to help youth establish self-sufficiency. Other notable programs include Project Future, a residential program for homeless youth males, Project Konnect, a drop-in center providing homeless prevention and intervention services, and a Basic Center program offering emergency shelter and support. The organization also receives sub-grants from the Texas Governor's Office to provide specialized victim services, including safety planning, trauma-responsive case management, counseling, support groups, and referrals to emergency and long-term residential services. These grants, typically ranging from $250,000 and lasting three to five years, demonstrate Central Texas Youth Services Bureau's comprehensive approach to supporting vulnerable youth through multiple interconnected service models.
