RHYTTAC National Needs Assessment

The Family and Youth Services Bureau (FYSB) partners with the Runaway and Homeless Youth Training, Technical Assistance, and Capacity Building Center (RHYTTAC) and Chapin Hall to conduct a National Needs Assessment. This assessment is administered annually to all Runaway and Homeless Youth (RHY) grant recipient organizations.

Purpose of the Needs Assessment 

This annual assessment is administered to all RHY grant recipient organizations to identify training needs for RHY grant recipient organizations across a variety of areas and to evaluate the use of, and experiences with, existing training and technical assistance (TTA) provided by RHYTTAC.

FYSB and RHYTTAC use assessment results to identify TTA priorities for the following year and determine the best ways to support grant recipient organizations in improving youth outcomes. The needs assessment also helps ensure that RHYTTAC’s services best meet the needs of grant recipient organizations, leading to new and adapted TTA resources available to them in the future. We encourage grant recipient organizations to participate in this web-based assessment. Participation is voluntary but strongly encouraged.

If you have any questions about the needs assessment, please contact RHYTTAC at [email protected].
