This ORR grant is for the purpose of securing Long Term Foster Care (LTFC) providers to offer essential residential and child welfare services to Unaccompanied Alien Children (UAC) in ORR custody. The Office of Refugee Resettlement (ORR), through its Division of Unaccompanied Children’s Operations, seeks state-licensed programs capable of providing quality care in community settings. Services encompass temporary shelter and welfare support from initial placement until a UAC is released, turns 18, or has a final immigration disposition. Providers must accommodate UACs aged 0-17, sibling groups, pregnant/parenting teens, and vulnerable individuals. Adherence to Flores v. Reno and all pertinent ORR policies is mandatory, ensuring care in the least restrictive environment appropriate for each child’s age and needs.
