Learn about FYSB's Transitional Living Program. Each year, thousands of young people in the United States run away from their homes, may be asked to leave their homes, or become homeless. Since 1975, the U.S. government has funded emergency shelter programs for runaway and homeless youth to provide for their immediate needs and promote family reunification.
Unfortunately, many homeless young people under the age of 18 cannot return home. In order to address the needs of older youth, Congress created the Transitional Living Program for older homeless youth as part of the 1988 Amendments to the Juvenile Justice and Delinquency Prevention Act of 1974 to address a growing need for long-term, supportive assistance that emergency shelter programs were not providing youth.
The Family and Youth Services Bureau (FYSB) funded the first transitional living programs in 1990. The intent of the FYSB-funded Transitional Living Program is to provide a temporary safety net and strong emotional support system for young people to transition into self-sufficiency.
FYSB’s Transitional Living Program provides grants to public and private organizations for intensive street outreach, and community-based, adult-supervised group homes, family homes, and scattered site apartments for youth ages 16 to under 22 years who cannot safely live with their own families. Services are provided for up to 540 days in most cases, with longer stays available for young people who turn 18 while in housing.
Transitional living programs helped over 2,080 homeless youth transition to life on their own in Fiscal Year 2018. Services offered through the Transitional Living Program are designed to help young people who are homeless transition to self-sufficient living. Grantees are required to offer the following services, either directly or by referral.
* FYSB requires grantees to incorporate a positive youth development (PYD) framework and a trauma-informed care (TIC) approach, which suggest that the best way to prevent risk and trauma is to help young people achieve their full potential. Youth development strategies focus on leadership, skill-building, and community involvement.

The Administration for Native Americans finalized the elimination of SEDS on July 28, 2026, posted its replacement the same day, and closed applications August 27 — a 30-day window for a $24 million program with 31 expected awards. What changed is not the money. It is who decides what the money is for.
Read articleHHS published 'Reducing Federal Burden for Head Start Programs' on August 7, 2026, proposing to strip federal staff-child ratios, health screening timelines, and credential requirements from the Program Performance Standards — and to force roughly $754 million out of administrative budgets across 1,700 grant recipients. Here is what is actually in the NPRM, what the Head Start Act still requires regardless, and how to write a comment that changes the final rule.
