The purpose of this document is to provide interested parties with information to enable them to prepare and submit a proposal for Runway and Homeless Youth (RHY) Program. This Request for Grant Proposal (RFP) will clarify the Wisconsin Department of Children and Families (DCF) expectations, describe three distinct goals of the RHY Program, and highlight the importance of grounding youth-driven programming in local and regional partnerships, evidence-based/evidence-informed strategies, and data-driven decision-making. The target population for the RHY Program is youth and young adults ages 12-21 who have run away, are at-risk of running away, are homeless, or are at imminent risk of becoming homeless.
