118261


MR. CHAIRMAN AND MEMBERS OF THE COMMITTEE:

     We are pleased to be here today to discuss the National

Runaway and Homeless Youth Program authorized by title III

of the Juvenile Justice and Delinquency Prevention Act of

1974, as amended.  Last October, that is seven months ago, you

requested GAO to observe the program's local operations and

delivery of services in order to answer the following questions:

     --Who participates in the program?

     --What are the services it offers?

     --What is the center environment?

     --What do participants, service providers, and community

       people think about its services and operations?

Having reviewed 17 of the 169 runaway and homeless youth centers

funded by the program, our intention today is to give you answers

to these questions for the sites we visited.
