This funding will support the expansion of shelter/foster/staff secure/secured/therapeutic care program bed capacity to meet the number of unaccompanied alien children referrals from the Department of Homeland Security (DHS). This expansion is necessary to replace bed capacity discontinued at several sites as well as to accommodate the increase of length of stay of UAC in ORR's care. This supplemental funding will support the additional bed capacity through the summer high season, terminating at the end of the 2008 fiscal year.
To ensure the program would have complete flexibility to expand and contract to meet the ever-changing demands of the program, ORR specifically included language in its program announcement to stipulate that funding and capacity may increase based on the needs of the program. The program has very specific requirements for the provision of services. Existing grantees are the only entities with the infrastructure, licensing, experience and appropriate level of trained staff to meet the service requirements and the urgent need for expansion. The program's ability to avoid a backlog of children waiting in border patrol stations for placement can only be accommodated through the expansion of existing programs through this supplemental award process.
