INVESTIGATE specific state and/or federal programs or funding sources that could benefit local efforts
What programs or funding exists that could benefit local efforts?
|
Runaway, Homeless and Missing Children's Protection Act (reauthorized 2003 by Congress) -- authorizes federal funding (103.1 million dollars in 2006) for three programs: |
Basic Center Grant Programs -- temporary shelter, counseling and aftercare services to homeless youth under the age of 18
Transitional Living Programs -- ages 16-21; longer term services; counseling, educational & vocational training, healthcare
Street Outreach Programs -- locate, educate, counsel & offer referrals for runaway, homeless & street youth.
|
Safe Place -- Project Safe Place is a program designed to provide access to immediate help and safety to young people at risk of abuse, neglect or serious family problems. It is a cost-effective program offering youth and their families access to counseling and effective resolution to their conflicts before their situation escalates beyond their control. Businesses, community buildings and buses are designated as Safe Place sites and prominently display a distinctive yellow and black Safe Place logo. Any youth can walk into a Safe Place and let an employee know that they need help. They are quickly connected with a youth serving agency that can provide the help they need. |
|
Host Homes of Indiana -- administered by the Indiana Juvenile Justice Task Force; The Host Homes of Indiana program provides an opportunity for caring families to offer temporary emergency shelter for runaway and homeless children between the ages of 7 and 17. |
