Standing Announcement for Residential (Shelter) Services for Unaccompanied Children
The Office of Refugee Resettlement/Division of Children's Services (ORR/DCS), within the Administration for Children and Families, provides temporary shelter care and other child welfare-related services to Unaccompanied Children (UC) in ORR custody.
Residential care services begin once ORR accepts a UC 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.
Residential care and other child welfare-related services are provided by State-licensed residential care programs in the least restrictive setting appropriate for the UC’s age and special needs.
ORR is announcing this funding opportunity announcement (FOA) to seek shelter, to include group homes and transitional foster care, care providers.
Residential care providers, operating a shelter facility, must be licensed by an appropriate State agency to provide residential, group, or foster care services for children.
