Funding-Street Outreach Program-July 11,
2017
Agency
Description
Today, in communities across the
country, young people are living on the streets after running from or being
asked to leave homes characterized by abuse, neglect, family conflict, or
parental drug and alcohol abuse. Once on the streets, such youth are at risk of
being sexually exploited or abused for pleasure or profit. In addition, youth
may engage or forced to participate in shoplifting, survival sex, or drug
dealing in order to provide for their basic needs. Since 1996, the Family and
Youth Services Bureau's (FYSB) SOP has been aiding young people living on the
streets or other unsafe living conditions by funding grantees to provide
street-based services to runaway, homeless, and
street youth who have been subjected to or are at risk of being subjected to
sexual abuse, prostitution, sexual exploitation, and severe forms of
trafficking in persons. These services, which are provided in areas where
street youth congregate, are designed to support and assist such youth in
making healthy choices and providing them access to shelter and related
services.
