(FYSB) provides funding to local communities to support
young people, particularly runaway and homeless youth, and their
families through the following three grant programs authorized by

has funded more than 150 demonstration projects; currently, FYSB
is funding 9 State Youth Development
Collaboration projects designed to promote the youth development approach.
In addition, FYSB provides financial
assistance for the Mentoring Children of Prisoners
Program authorized by the Promoting Safe and Stable Families Amendments of 2001 (Public
Law 107-133). (To view the Amendments, you must first download
