Opportunity Information: Apply for HHS 2025 ACF ORR ZU 0042

This government grant opportunity supports organizations that can provide 24/7 residential care for unaccompanied alien children in a safe, child-focused environment. Services may include group homes, shelters, and transitional foster care (TFC). Applicants don't need to be licensed at the time of application but must obtain the appropriate licenses before accepting children into care, following specific timeframes.

The grant is open to a variety of organizations, including faith-based and community groups, as long as they meet the eligibility requirements. However, individuals and foreign entities are not eligible.

Current grantees nearing the end of their existing project periods can apply to continue services. Those still within their project periods may only apply if they propose a new type of residential service at a new location not already funded. The government avoids funding multiple projects offering the same service in the same area.

Overall, the goal is to support care providers who can ensure the well-being and safety of unaccompanied children under federal custody, with the flexibility to admit children at any time within licensed and safe conditions.
