Runaway and Homeless Youth Regional Grantee Training

The Runaway and Homeless Youth (RHY) Regional Grantee Training is an annual event to provide RHY grantees from all 10 regions with resources on how to effectively administer their RHY grant award, discuss current issues and trends in working with youth experiencing homelessness, and communicate the Family and Youth Services Bureau (FYSB) priorities to improve program outcomes and project implementation.

The objectives for these regionally based meetings are to:  

  1. Provide an opportunity for face-to-face time between grantees, federal project officers and regional program managers;
  2. Provide an opportunity for networking with colleagues to build support, share information, and foster future collaborative efforts;
  3. Provide information and direction from FYSB critical for operating programs which adhere to federal standards;
  4. Increase awareness of Runaway and Homeless Youth Training and Technical Assistance (RHYTTAC); and
  5. Strengthen the foundation for on-going regional networking and support, improve communication with FYSB and RHYTTAC, and strengthen relationships.

Each year, FYSB invites RHY grantee organizations to send at least one staff member, who is in a program management or lead position, to represent their organization and to disseminate the information shared. These regional meetings are typically held between March through May each year.
