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.
