President Obama submitted to Congress today his budget request for fiscal year (FY) 2011, kicking off the annual federal budget and appropriations cycle.
The budget request includes $115.7 million for Runaway and Homeless Youth Act programs, the same level as appropriated in FY 2010. The National Network for Youth recommends $165 million in FY 2011 for RHYA programs, a $50 million increase over current spending, and the same level recommended by Congress in the 2008 RHYA reauthorization law.
