RHYTTAC:

  • Provides direct capacity building support for programs and communities in the form of technical assistance, training, and online communities;
  • Develops tools and resources, and manages multiple communication channels for dissemination of those resources; and,
  • Leads a coordinated strategy across federal departments and other national grantees.

2026 RHY National Grantee Training

Save the date for the 2026 RHY National Grantee Training. This year’s theme is “Building Lasting Connections for RHY: Strengthening Youth, Families, and Communities.” Our focus is on how supporting young people in developing positive ongoing connections with their families and communities is foundational to achieving the RHY Program's Core Outcomes. These strong relationships support youth's social/emotional well-being, advancements in their educational and employment pursuits, and safe and stable housing options.

2026 National Needs Assessment Now Open

The goal of the National Needs Assessment is to identify training needs for RHY grant recipient organizations in a variety of areas and to assess the utilization and experiences with existing Training and Technical Assistance (TTA) provided by RHYTTAC. This assessment is administered annually to all Runaway and Homeless Youth (RHY) grant recipient organizations. RHYTTAC will host an optional TA Café on August 18, 2026, from 2:00 to 3:00 p.m. ET, where grant recipient organizations can ask questions and receive further assistance with the assessment process. Grant recipient organizations should complete the assessment no later than September 4, 2026.

In a coordinated effort to enhance accessibility and streamline support for the youth homelessness field, we are also pleased to announce the migration of invaluable resources from the National Clearinghouse on Homeless Youth and Families (NCHYF) to the RHYTTAC website. Now, under the umbrella of RHYTTAC's repository of resources, users can expect to find the research, resource library, and screening tools previously found on the NCHYF site at resources.rhyttac.org.

This content library along with RHYTTAC’s eLearning and the Community of Practice will offer expanded opportunities for collaboration and resource utilization. Stay tuned for an enriched online presence and an even more comprehensive repository of tools and information.
