ACTION: Notice of Award of 48 single-source low-cost extension 
supplement grants under the Unaccompanied Alien Children's (UAC) 
Program.

-----------------------------------------------------------------------

SUMMARY: ACF, ORR, announces the award of 48 single source low-cost 
extension supplement grants for a total of $110,480,457 under the 
Unaccompanied Alien Children's (UAC) Program.

DATES: Low-cost extension supplement grants will support activities 
from October 1, 2016, through December 31, 2016, for 46 grantees and 
October 1, 2016, through March 31, 2017, for two grantees.

FOR FURTHER INFORMATION CONTACT: Jallyn Sualog, Director, Division of 
Unaccompanied Children's Operations, Office of Refugee Resettlement, 
330 C Street SW., Washington, DC 20201. Email: [email protected]. 
Phone: 202-401-4997.

SUPPLEMENTARY INFORMATION: The following supplement grants will support 
the immediate need for additional capacity of shelter services to 
accommodate the prior increase in number of UACs referred by DHS into 
ORR care. This increase in the UAC population necessitated the need for 
expansion of services to expedite the release of UAC. In order to be 
prepared for an increase in referrals for shelter services, ORR 
solicited proposals from grantees to accommodate the extensive amount 
of referrals from DHS.

ORR is continuously monitoring its capacity to provide post-release 
services to the unaccompanied alien children in HHS custody. ORR has 
specific requirements for the provision of services. Award recipients 
must have the infrastructure, licensing, experience, and appropriate 
level of trained staff to meet those requirements. The expansion of the 
existing post-release services program through this supplemental award 
is a key strategy for ORR to be prepared to meet its responsibility of 
safe and timely release of Unaccompanied Alien Children referred to its 
care by DHS and so that the US Border Patrol can continue its vital 
national security mission to prevent illegal migration, trafficking, 
and protect the borders of the United States.
    Statutory Authority: This program is authorized by--
    (A) Section 462 of the Homeland Security Act of 2002, which in 
March 2003, transferred responsibility for the care and custody of 
Unaccompanied Alien Children from the Commissioner of the former 
Immigration and Naturalization Service (INS) to the Director of ORR of 
the Department of Health and Human Services (HHS).
    (B) The Flores Settlement Agreement, Case No. CV85-4544RJK (C.D. 
Cal. 1996), as well as the William Wilberforce Trafficking Victims 
Protection Reauthorization Act of 2008 (Pub. L. 110-457), which 
authorizes post release services under certain conditions to eligible 
children. All programs must comply with the Flores Settlement 
Agreement, Case No. CV85-4544-RJK (C.D. Cal. 1996), pertinent 
regulations and ORR policies and procedures.
