Abstract:
The Office of Refugee Resettlement (ORR) Unaccompanied Alien Children (UAC) Bureau provides care and custody for unaccompanied alien children until they can be safely released to a sponsor, repatriated to their home country, or obtain legal status. ORR funds residential care provider facilities that provide temporary housing and other services to children in ORR custody. Generally, care provider facilities are State-licensed (with the exception of those located in states unwilling to consider them for licensure and temporary influx care facilities) and must meet ORR requirements to ensure a high-level quality of care. Services provided at care provider facilities include, but are not limited to, education, recreation, vocational training, acculturation, nutrition, medical, mental health, legal, and case management. ORR uses several instruments directly related to the care of unaccompanied alien children. The instruments in this information collection allow ORR to provide legal and advocacy services to unaccompanied alien children, as required by the legal authorities that govern the bureau. This request is to remove five forms from this collection, add two new forms, move two forms from different information collections into this collection (with revisions to one of those forms), and revise three existing forms in this collection. The title of this collection has also been updated from “Legal Services for Unaccompanied Children” to “Legal and Advocacy Services for Unaccompanied Alien Children.” Details about requested revisions are described in section A15.
