"The Unaccompanied Alien Children’s program ensures the appropriate placement of all Department of Homeland Security (DHS) UAC referrals within specified timeframes and requires that a range of custodial/residential shelter care and services are provided to the minor detainees and, in certain cases, continued services are authorized after a child is released from ORR residential shelter care. The supplemental awards will support and expand direct legal representation services for unaccompanied minor children after their release from ORR custody.
As part of this administration-wide effort, HHS is proposing a $9 million direct legal representation project that will provide representation to 2,600 unaccompanied children throughout their immigration proceedings. In order to implement this Departmental priority, ORR is awarding supplemental funds totaling $4,261,268 in FY 2014 to provide direct representation to 1,222 children and plans to provide the remaining funds for this project in FY 2015. The initial program will address legal services to post-release alien minor children in Los Angeles, CA; Houston, TX; Miami, FL; Baltimore, MD; Arlington, VA; Dallas, TX; Memphis, TN; New Orleans, LA; and Phoenix, AZ.
Recognizing that this will cover only a portion of children released to sponsors in these cities, HHS is committed to continuing to work with DHS and the Department of Justice (DOJ) to determine how best prioritize the use of these 2,600 slots in the provision of legal services to this vulnerable population.
Under the FY 2014 supplemental awards, the United States Conference of Catholic Bishops in Washington, DC, will receive a supplemental award of $2,226,513 and to the U.S. Committee for Refugees and Immigrants in Arlington, VA, will receive a supplemental award of $2,034,755.
DATES: Supplemental award funds will support activities from September 30, 2014 through September 29, 2015." - FR Doc. 2014-24555 Filed 10/15/2014 at 8:45 am; Publication Date: 10/16/2014.
