SUPPLEMENTARY INFORMATION: The
National Runaway Safeline, operated by
the National Runaway Switchboard,
serves as the federally-designated
national communication system for
homeless and runaway youth. Through
hotline and online services, the National
Runaway Switchboard provides crisis
intervention, referrals to local resources,
and education and prevention services
to runaway, homeless, and at-risk youth,
their families, and communities 24
hours a day, 7 days a week, every day
of the year, in a neutral and confidential
manner. Beyond its mission, the
National Runaway Switchboard is
committed to elevate the dialogue about
runaway and homeless youth issues to
ensure everyone understands the
importance of supporting vulnerable
youth, the programs that serve them,
and the value of disseminating
prevention materials to increase skills
and competencies among at-risk youth.
The expansion supplement award
will allow the National Runaway
Switchboard to:
• Conduct research to increase public
education on issues impacting at-risk,
runaway, and homeless youth and to
disseminate data about the need to
support youth-serving programs in
communities nationwide.
• Translate the ‘‘Let’s Talk
Curriculum’’ into a Spanish version and
disseminate it to culturally appropriate
prevention resources to expand
outreach to Latino youth and their
families.
The National Runaway Switchboard
will conduct the research to analyze
their data and utilize the research
findings to enhance prevention
programs, improve technical support,
and reach out to diverse media outlets
to increase public knowledge on these
issues. More important, the research
information will assist youth-serving
organizations in explaining the need for
their services. Often, local stakeholders
PO 00000

do not understand the importance of
providing services and programs to
runaway and homeless youth because
they are not aware of the impact of these
issues. When a youth runs away, the
impact is felt throughout an entire
community. By learning about the
causes, short-term, and long-term effects
of runaway and homeless behaviors,
communities can move away from
stereotypes and provide the resources
and connections needed for vulnerable
youth.
The research and Spanish translation
services are crucial projects that support
the Switchboard’s efforts, and FYSB’s
commitment, to provide resources to
runaway and homeless youth,
underserved communities, and those
who support these vulnerable
populations.
Statutory Authority: Section 331 of
the Runaway and Homeless Youth Act,
as amended by the Reconnecting
Homeless Youth Act of 2008, Public
Law 110–378, authorizes the award of
grants for the National Communication
System for Runaway and Homeless
Youth (42 U.S.C. 5714–11).

SUPPLEMENTARY INFORMATION:
While this
number of referrals to the
Unaccompanied Children Program in
FY 2015 is well below the total referrals
from FY 2014, ORR has seen a change
to recent referral trends, including a
steady August referral rate and an
increasing occupancy rate of UC in care.
This increase in referrals has also
generated a correlating increase in the
need for home study services. The
supplemental awards will support and
expand home study services for UC to
facilitate their release from ORR
custody.
ORR has specific requirements for the
provision of services. Award recipients
must have the infrastructure, licensing,
experience, and appropriate level of
trained staff to meet the service
requirements and the urgent need for
expansion of services. The program’s
ability to avoid a buildup of children
waiting, in Border Patrol stations, for
placement in shelters, can only be
accommodated through the expansion
of the existing program and its services
through the supplemental award.
