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.
