    Title: Children, Youth, and Families at Risk (CYFAR) Year End 
Report.
    OMB Control Number: 0524-0043.
    Summary of Collection: The National Institute of Food and 
Agriculture (NIFA) administers grants that support the Children, Youth, 
and Families at Risk (CYFAR) Sustainable Communities Project (SCP). 
Funding for this program is authorized under section 3(d) of the Smith-
Lever Act (7 U.S.C. 341 et seq.), CYFAR funding supports community-
based programs (also known as ``extension programs'') which serve 
children, youth, and families in at-risk environments. CYFAR funds are 
intended to support the development of high quality, effective programs 
based on research.
    The purpose of CYFAR SCP funding is to improve the quality and 
quantity of comprehensive community-based programs for at-risk 
children, youth, and families supported by the Cooperative Extension 
System. Collaboration across disciplines, program areas, and geographic 
lines, as well as a holistic approach that views the individual in the 
context of the family and community, are central to Sustainable 
Community Projects. CYFAR grants are awarded only to 1862, 1890, and 
1994 Land Grant institutions through a competitive application process. 
Awards are made annually, for five year terms. There are up to 50 
grantees at any given time.
    Need and Use of the Information: The purpose of the CYFAR Year End 
Report is to collect the demographic and impact data from each 
community site in order to evaluate the impact of the programs on 
intended audiences. CYFAR grants represent a Federal financial 
investment and the data collected allows NIFA to gauge the benefits 
achieved from these investments. The CYFAR Year End Report tells the 
story of each of the CYFAR SCP grantees and is part of the information 
used to determine whether grantees have performed adequately in the 
past year to receive a continuation of funding. Without the information 
NIFA would not be able to verify if CYFAR programs are reaching at 
risk,
