Opportunity Information: Apply for HHS 2023 ACF ACYF CY 0070
The FY 2023 Runaway and Homeless Youth-Prevention Demonstration Program (RHY-PDP) is a federal funding opportunity from the U.S. Department of Health and Human Services (HHS), administered through the Administration for Children and Families (ACF) under the Administration on Children, Youth and Families (ACYF) and the Family and Youth Services Bureau (FYSB). It is a discretionary grant offered as a cooperative agreement, which typically means the federal agency expects to have an ongoing, active role with awardees during planning, implementation, and learning activities rather than simply issuing funds and stepping back. The program falls under the “Income Security and Social Services” activity category and is associated with CFDA number 93.623.
At its core, RHY-PDP is meant to help communities build and test practical, locally driven approaches that keep youth and young adults from entering homelessness in the first place. Instead of focusing only on crisis response after a young person is already without safe housing, this demonstration program emphasizes prevention: spotting risk early, organizing the community around a shared strategy, and delivering supports that reduce the likelihood that a housing crisis occurs. The overall intent is to fund community-based initiatives that can serve as models, generating lessons about what works, how partnerships can be structured, and what service combinations are most effective for different local contexts.
The opportunity outlines three connected expectations for funded projects. First, communities are expected to identify young people who are at risk of experiencing homelessness. That implies developing or strengthening ways to recognize warning signs and pathways into housing instability, such as family conflict, child welfare involvement, juvenile justice involvement, school disengagement, precarious housing arrangements, or economic hardship. Second, applicants are expected to design and develop a comprehensive community prevention plan. This is not a single-program approach; it is a coordinated, community-wide plan that aligns partners, clarifies roles, and lays out how prevention will be operationalized locally. Third, awardees are expected to implement a robust, holistic services plan that responds to the diverse needs of youth at risk of homelessness and their families. The language signals that the program is looking for wraparound, youth-centered and family-aware services, recognizing that preventing homelessness often requires addressing multiple, overlapping issues at the same time rather than providing one narrow intervention.
A key feature of RHY-PDP is the emphasis on partnerships and coordination. The program explicitly calls for development and coordination of partnerships with youth and young adult service providers, community organizations, and both private and public agencies. In practice, this points to cross-system collaboration, where schools, local government, housing and homelessness providers, youth-serving nonprofits, health and behavioral health providers, workforce programs, child welfare and juvenile justice partners, and community-based organizations work together around a shared prevention strategy. The goal is to reduce fragmentation so youth and families can access help quickly and consistently, and so communities can intervene earlier when risk factors emerge.
In terms of who can apply, eligibility is broad and includes many types of public and nonprofit entities. Eligible applicants include state, county, and city or township governments; special district governments; independent school districts; public housing authorities and Indian housing authorities; federally recognized Native American tribal governments and other tribal organizations; public and private institutions of higher education; and nonprofits both with and without 501(c)(3) status (as long as they are not institutions of higher education). The listing also includes an “Others” category with a reference to additional eligibility details, which suggests the official notice may clarify additional eligible entities or partnership requirements beyond the high-level categories provided.
Funding details indicate an award ceiling of $350,000 per award, with an expected total of five awards. The opportunity was posted (creation date) on May 30, 2023, with an original application deadline of July 29, 2023. Applications were required to be submitted electronically by 11:59 p.m. Eastern Time on the due date. The funding opportunity number is HHS-2023-ACF-ACYF-CY-0070, which is the identifier applicants would use to locate the full announcement and application package.
Overall, RHY-PDP is structured to help communities move upstream by building prevention-focused systems that identify youth and young adults at risk, create a coherent local prevention plan, and deliver coordinated, holistic supports for youth and families before a housing crisis becomes homelessness. The combination of community planning, cross-agency partnership building, and service implementation reflects a demonstration approach aimed at producing replicable strategies and actionable learning for the broader runaway and homeless youth field.Apply for HHS 2023 ACF ACYF CY 0070
