Opportunity Summary:
The Residential Services for Unaccompanied Alien Children grant opportunity is a discretionary federal funding announcement from the U.S. Department of Health and Human Services, Administration for Children and Families (ACF), through the Office of Refugee Resettlement (ORR) and its Division of Unaccompanied Children Services (DUCS). The purpose of the program is to fund organizations that can provide temporary residential shelter care and related child welfare services for Unaccompanied Alien Children (UAC) while they are in ORR custody. Services cover the full period of a child being in federal care, beginning when DUCS receives the child for placement and custody and ending when the child is released to a suitable sponsor, when a final immigration case outcome results in the child being removed from the United States, or when the child turns 18 years old.
The opportunity is designed to expand and support a network of state-licensed residential and foster care programs that can safely house and care for children in the least restrictive setting that is appropriate for their age and individual needs. The announcement emphasizes that placements should be made in the best interest of the child and matched to any special circumstances, including vulnerabilities that might require enhanced supervision or specialized services. Although the typical length of stay for most children is stated as about 65 days, the program anticipates that some children will need shorter stays while others may require longer-term care depending on case and placement circumstances.
Funding under this announcement can support several types of residential care along a continuum. That range includes basic shelters and/or group homes, short-term and long-term foster care, staff-secure placements, secure placements, and other more specialized residential care settings. In practical terms, the grant is meant to fund providers that can deliver not just a bed, but a full set of day-to-day supports commonly associated with child welfare residential programming, such as supervision, case management and coordination, and services that promote safety, stability, and well-being while the child is awaiting release or a legal disposition.
The funding mechanism is a cooperative agreement, which generally means the federal agency expects to have an ongoing role in program oversight and coordination beyond what is typical in a standard grant. The funding activity category is listed as Income Security and Social Services, and the CFDA program number is 93.676 (Unaccompanied Alien Children Program). ORR anticipated making about 15 awards under this announcement, with an estimated total funding amount of $45,000,000. Individual awards were expected to range from a floor of $500,000 to a ceiling of $7,500,000. There is no cost sharing or matching requirement stated for this opportunity.
Eligibility is broadly open to applicants (unrestricted) as long as they meet any requirements described in the full announcement, with an explicit note that faith-based and community organizations are eligible to apply if they meet program requirements. Individuals and foreign entities are not eligible for awards under this funding opportunity. The original posting date was June 3, 2010, and the application closing date was July 19, 2010. For electronic submissions through Grants.gov, applications had to be submitted by 4:30 p.m. Eastern Time on the due date. The notice was archived on August 18, 2010, meaning it is a past opportunity rather than an active competition.
For applicants or readers who needed the complete requirements and program specifics, the announcement referenced a full posting on the ACF website and provided a support contact for technical difficulty accessing the announcement, directing questions to the ACF Applications Help Desk at appsupport@acf.hhs.gov.
