Jkt 238001
While the
number of referrals, to the
Unaccompanied Children Program in
FY 2015, was below the total referrals
from FY 2014, ORR has seen a change
to recent referral trends. The UC
program has seen an increase in the
numbers of UC referred for placement
since January 2015. FY15 was the first
fiscal year, in the history of the UC
program, in which there were eight (11)
consecutive months of steadily
increasing referrals. During FY 15, the
largest total referrals occurred during
August, with over 4,300 referrals, and
these high referral numbers continued
into the month of September with 4,172
referrals. In October and November,
2015, the DCS program has received
referrals for initial placements for
10,158 unaccompanied children. ORR
has experienced a steadily increasing
census of UC in care, with longer
average length of stay. This increase, in
UC referred for placement, has
increased the need for additional shelter
beds.
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.
SUPPLEMENTARY INFORMATION:
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.
