Description
The goal of the Residential Group Home, Shelter, Transitional Foster Care (TFC) Services for Unaccompanied Children funding opportunity is to provide funding to organizations that can deliver high-quality and child-centered care, ensuring the safety and well-being of the children. Services must be available 24/7 with the ability to accept children at any time (as long as it aligns with state licensing requirements and is safe to do so). While children in ORR care are under the legal custody of the federal government, they are physically cared for by the care provider. At the time of application, care providers do not have to be licensed by an appropriate licensing agency to provide shelter, group home, or foster care services for children. However, care providers must be fully licensed prior to accepting children for placement within the timeframes specified in the funding opportunity.
