The Office of Refugee Resettlement (ORR) Unaccompanied Children Program (UC Program) provides care and custody for unaccompanied 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 children. The instruments in this information collection allow ORR to process the release of unaccompanied children from ORR custody and provide services after release.
The current request is for revisions to forms approved under this information collection and the addition of one new form.
