The Family and Youth Services Bureau (FYSB) is working with the Runaway and Homeless Youth Training, Technical Assistance, and Capacity Building Center (RHYTTAC) and Chapin Hall to conduct the annual National Needs Assessment (NNA). This assessment is administered to all Runaway and Homeless Youth (RHY) grantee organizations.  Grantee organizations are encouraged to participate in this web-based online assessment.

We encourage grantee organizations to participate in this web-based online assessment. Your organization’s participation is voluntary but strongly encouraged.  

Purpose of the Needs Assessment 

The goal of the needs assessment is to identify training needs for RHY grantee organizations in a variety of areas and to assess the utilization and experiences with existing training and technical assistance (TTA) provided by RHYTTAC.

FYSB and RHYTTAC use the results of the assessment to identify TTA priorities for the following year and how to best support grantee organizations in improving outcomes for youth. The assessment also helps ensure that RHYTTAC’s services best meet the needs of grantee organizations, leading to new and adapted TTA resources available to RHY grantee organizations in the future.

The 2025 National Needs Assessment has now closed.
