Supplement Grant to the Asian &

Forum in Oakland, CA
SUPPLEMENTARY INFORMATION:
While this
number of referrals to the
Unaccompanied Children Program in
FY 2015 is well below the total referrals
from FY 2014, ORR has seen a change
to recent referral trends, including a
steady August referral rate and an
increasing occupancy rate of UC in care.
This increase in referrals has also
generated a correlating increase in the
need for home study services. The
supplemental awards will support and
expand home study services for UC to
facilitate their release from ORR
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 the service
requirements and the urgent need for
expansion of services. The program’s
ability to avoid a buildup of children
waiting, in Border Patrol stations, for
placement in shelters, can only be
accommodated through the expansion
of the existing program and its services
through the supplemental award.

SUMMARY:
asabaliauskas on DSK5VPTVN1PROD with NOTICES
2016 POVERTY GUIDELINES FOR THE
48 CONTIGUOUS STATES AND THE
DISTRICT OF COLUMBIA
Background
Section 673(2) of the Omnibus Budget
Reconciliation Act (OBRA) of 1981 (42
U.S.C. 9902(2)) requires the Secretary of
the Department of Health and Human
Services to update the poverty
guidelines at least annually, adjusting
them on the basis of the Consumer Price
Index for All Urban Consumers (CPI–U).
The poverty guidelines are used as an
eligibility criterion by the Community
Services Block Grant program and a
number of other Federal programs. The
poverty guidelines issued here are a
simplified version of the poverty
thresholds that the Census Bureau uses
to prepare its estimates of the number of
individuals and families in poverty.
As required by law, this update is
accomplished by increasing the latest
published Census Bureau poverty
thresholds by the relevant percentage
change in the Consumer Price Index for
All Urban Consumers (CPI–U). The
guidelines in this 2016 notice reflect the
0.1 percent price increase between
calendar years 2014 and 2015. After this
inflation adjustment, the guidelines are
rounded and adjusted to standardize the
differences between family sizes. In rare
circumstances, the rounding and
standardizing adjustments in the
formula result in small decreases in the
poverty guidelines for some household
sizes even when the inflation factor is
not negative. In order to prevent a
reduction in the guidelines in these rare
circumstances, a minor adjustment was
implemented to the formula beginning
this year. In cases where the year-to-year
change in inflation is not negative and
the rounding and standardizing
adjustments in the formula result in
reductions to the guidelines from the
previous year for some household sizes,
the guidelines for the affected
household sizes are fixed at the prior
year’s guidelines. As in prior years,
these 2016 guidelines are roughly equal
to the poverty thresholds for calendar
year 2015 which the Census Bureau
expects to publish in final form in
September 2016.
The poverty guidelines continue to be
derived from the Census Bureau’s
current official poverty thresholds; they
are not derived from the Census
Bureau’s new Supplemental Poverty
Measure (SPM).
The following guideline figures
represent annual income.
