CFDA NO.: 93.616.
SUMMARY: The Administration on Children, Youth and Families, Family and 
Youth Services Bureau (FYSB), herein announces the awarding of ten 
supplemental awards in the amount of $1,932,300 to fund Fiscal Year 
(FY) 2007 Runaway and Homeless Youth Training and Technical Assistance 
cooperative agreements. The average amount per grantee would be 
$192,230.
    Section 439 of the Social Security Act, as amended by the Child and 
Family Services Improvement Act of 2006 (Pub. L. 109-288) authorizes 
the Secretary of Health and Human Services (HHS) to award grants for 
the purpose of supporting the establishment or expansion and operation 
of community-based programs to provide one-on-one mentoring 
relationships between a child of incarcerated parent(s) and a caring, 
supportive adult mentor under the Mentoring Children of Prisoners 
Program (MCP). This supplemental funding will be used to access the 
capacity building expertise of the ten Runaway and Homeless Youth 
Training and Technical Assistance Providers for the purpose of 
enhancing the capacity of newly awarded lower scoring community and 
faith-based MCP grantees. It is expected that the supplementing of the 
ten RHY Training and Technical Assistance Providers will result in the 
reduction in program start-up issues and other barriers to high 
performance.
    It is critical that these MCP grantees receive the best possible 
services as it relates to enhancing their capacity to develop and 
maintain a quality mentoring program. The following agencies are 
receiving grant funds for a twelve month project period:
