Description

Provides temporary shelter care and other related services to children in ORR custody. Shelter care services will be provided for the period beginning when DUCS accepts the child for placement and custody and ending when the child is released from custody, a final disposition of the child's immigration case results in removal of the child from the United States, or the child turns 18 years of age. Shelter care and other child welfare related services in a State-licensed residential shelter care program will be provided in the least restrictive setting appropriate to the Unaccompanied Alien Children's (UAC) age and special needs. While the majority of UAC remain in care for an average of 45 days, some will stay for shorter or longer periods of time.
