SUPPLEMENTARY INFORMATION: While the number of referrals, to the 
Unaccompanied Children Program in FY 2015, was below the total 
referrals from FY 2014, ORR has seen a change to recent referral 
trends. The UC program has seen an increase in the numbers of UC 
referred for placement since January 2015. FY15 was the first fiscal 
year, in the history of the UC program, in which there were eight (11) 
consecutive months of steadily increasing referrals. During FY 15, the 
largest total referrals occurred during August, with over 4,300 
referrals, and these high referral numbers continued into the month of 
September with 4,172 referrals. In October and November, 2015, the DCS 
program has received referrals for initial placements for 10,158 
unaccompanied children. ORR has experienced a steadily increasing 
census of UC in care, with longer average length of stay. This 
increase, in UC referred for placement, has increased the need for 
additional shelter beds.
    ORR has specific requirements for the provision of services. Award 
recipients must have the infrastructure, licensing, experience, and 
appropriate level of trained staff to meet the service requirements and 
the urgent need for expansion of services. The program's ability to 
avoid a buildup of children waiting, in Border Patrol stations, for 
placement in shelters, can only be accommodated through the expansion 
of the existing program and its services through the supplemental 
award.

    Statutory Authority:  This program is authorized by--
    (A) Section 462 of the Homeland Security Act of 2002, which in 
March 2003, transferred responsibility for the care and custody of 
Unaccompanied Alien Children from the Commissioner of the former 
Immigration and Naturalization Service (INS) to the Director of ORR 
of the Department of Health and Human Services (HHS).
    (B) The Flores Settlement Agreement, Case No. CV85-4544RJK (C.D. 
Cal. 1996), as well as the William Wilberforce Trafficking Victims 
Protection Reauthorization Act of 2008 (Pub.L. 110-457), which 
authorizes post release services under certain conditions to 
eligible children. All programs must comply with the Flores 
Settlement Agreement, Case No. CV85-4544-RJK (C.D. Cal. 1996), 
pertinent regulations and ORR policies and procedures.
