Synopsis

The goal of the Residential (Group Home, Shelter, Transitional Foster Care (TFC)) Services for Unaccompanied Alien 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. In this funding opportunity, the term "care provider" refers to the prime recipient and, if applicable, its subrecipient. 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.

Who can apply

Current Recipients Current recipients in the final year of their project period must check when their project period ends. If the project period end date aligns with this funding opportunity’s projected award date, and the current recipient wants to apply to continue providing services, they must apply to this funding opportunity. Current recipients who are not in the final year of their project period and want to apply to this funding opportunity must propose services in a new facility and new location from where they are currently funded. ACF does not fund multiple projects that offer the same type of service in the same location. Applications from individuals (including sole proprietorships) and foreign entities are not eligible and will be disqualified from the merit review and funding under this funding opportunity. Faith-based and community organizations that meet the eligibility requirements are eligible to receive awards under this funding opportunity. Faith-based organizations may apply for this award on the same basis as any other organization, as set forth at and, subject to the protections and requirements of 45 CFR Part 87 and 42 U.S.C. 2000bb et seq., ACF will not, in the selection of recipients, discriminate against an organization on the basis of the organization's religious character, affiliation, or exercise.
