Summary:

Provides brief overview of the runaway and homeless youth program and the "national runaway switchboard" established under the Runaway and Homeless Youth Act (RHYA), which was enacted to encourage States to improve local treatment of at-risk youth, remove runaway and homeless youth from the streets, and prevent the victimization of homeless youth.
