The Office of Refugee Resettlement/Division of Children’s Services is offering this grant to provide temporary shelter care and essential related services to Unaccompanied Alien Children (UAC) under ORR custody. This grant supports State-licensed residential shelter care programs, ensuring UAC receive services in the least restrictive setting appropriate for their age and specific needs. Services commence upon ORR acceptance of a UAC and conclude when the minor is released, reaches 18 years of age, or faces a final immigration disposition of removal from the United States. While the majority of UAC stays average 30-35 days, the duration can vary. This initiative ensures comprehensive care for vulnerable UAC populations.

| Description: | The Office of Refugee Resettlement/Division of Children’s Services (ORR/DCS) provides temporary shelter care and other related services to Unaccompanied Alien Children (UAC) in ORR custody. Shelter care services begin once ORR accepts a UAC for placement and ends when the minor is released from ORR custody, turns 18 years of age, or the minor’s immigration case results in a final disposition of removal from the United States. Shelter care and other related services are provided by State-licensed residential shelter care programs in the least restrictive setting appropriate for the UAC’s age and special needs. The majority of UAC will remain in ORR custody for an average of 30-35 days, but some will have a longer or shorter length of stay. |
