Trump is Running Out of Time to Fund Homeless Youth Services
Description
On July 9, the Department of Health and Human Services started the funding competition for organizations that work on the frontlines of helping youth who are homeless, have run away, and are either involved in or at risk of being trafficked.
That notice came very late in the year, and many are worried the administration might run out of time to actually make grants. And, this year’s competition will not include unique grants for street outreach, a major part of the federal program since the 1990s.
Darla Bardine, executive director of the National Network for Youth, joins to provide detail and context around this year’s long-delayed federal funding. And Barissa Ford, who is the director of community outreach and engagement for Youth In Need in St. Louis, discusses what street outreach means and what it takes to do that work well.
