Administration for Children and Families July 1, 2019 – Federal Register Recent Federal Regulation Documents

The Administration for Children and Families (ACF), Office of Refugee Resettlement (ORR), announces the intent to issue one OPDIV- Initiated Supplement to BCFS Health and Human Services, San Antonio, Texas in the amount of up to $300,800,000. ORR announces the issuance of the first installment for 60 days in the amount of up to $50,000,000. ORR has been identifying additional capacity to provide shelter for potential increases in apprehensions of Unaccompanied Alien Children at the U.S. Southern Border. Planning for increased shelter capacity is a prudent step to ensure that ORR is able to meet its responsibility, by law, to provide shelter for Unaccompanied Alien Children referred to its care by the Department of Homeland Security (DHS). To ensure sufficient capacity to provide shelter to unaccompanied alien children referred to HHS, ORR is requesting that BCFS provide up to 1,300 temporary shelter beds at Carrizo Springs, Texas over a graduated timeframe.
