Abstract: ORR’s Unaccompanied Alien Children (UAC) Program provides care and custody for UAC 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 UAC in ORR custody. Care provider facilities are State- licensed, with the exception of 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. These instruments allow ORR to process the release of UAC from ORR custody and provide services after release. These information collections were originally approved under emergency approval for 6 months. This request is to continue data collection.
