Abstract: The ORR Unaccompanied Children Program provides placement, care, custody and mandated services for UC until such time as they can be successfully released to a sponsor, repatriated to their home country, or obtain legal status. Through cooperative agreements and contracts, ORR funds residential care providers that provide temporary housing and other services to unaccompanied children in ORR custody. These care provider facilities are State licensed and must meet ORR requirements to ensure a high level quality of care. They provide a continuum of care for children, including placements in ORR foster care, group homes, shelter, staff secure, secure, and residential treatment centers. The care providers provide children with classroom education, health care, socialization/recreation, vocational training, mental health services, access to legal services, and case management. The purpose of this information collection is allow grantees to collect information related to the provision of these services and to expeditiously provide for the timely release of unaccompanied children. The data collection also allows ORR to track grant project performance and the success of the program. In order to monitor performance and ensure compliance with statutory and regulatory requirements and standards, ORR: 1) Collects information from its network of care providers to show evidence that care providers’ standards of care, family reunification methods, internal policies and procedures, personnel, training, and other components meet minimum standards and ensure the safety and security of children in ORR care. 2) Requires care providers to track the timely release process and delivery of services for individual children and youth to ensure compliance and allow ORR to conduct formal monitoring and performance review.
