SUPPLEMENTARY INFORMATION: The following supplement grants will support 
the immediate need for additional capacity of shelter services to 
accommodate the increasing number of UACs referred by DHS into ORR 
care. The increase in the UAC population necessitates the need for 
expansion of services to expedite the release of UAC. In order to be 
prepared for an increase in referrals for shelter and post release/home 
studies services, ORR will solicit proposals from forty three grantees 
to accommodate the extensive amount of referrals from DHS.

    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 shelter services and post-release/home 
studies programs 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 
to provide services for vulnerable youth post release. This will allow 
the US Border Patrol to 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.
