Residential Services for Unaccompanied Alien Children

 

The Office of Refugee Resettlement/Division of Children's Services (ORR/DCS) provides temporary shelter care and other related services to Unaccompanied Alien Children (UAC) in ORR custody. Shelter care services begin once ORR accepts a UAC for placement and ends when the minor is released from ORR custody, turns 18 years of age, or the minor’s immigration case results in a final disposition of removal from the United States. Shelter care and other related services are provided by State-licensed residential shelter care programs in the least restrictive setting appropriate for the UAC’s age and special needs. The majority of UAC will remain in ORR custody for an average of 30-35 days, but some will have a longer or shorter length of stay.
