Description: The Office of Refugee Resettlement/Division of Children&apos;s Services (ORR/DCS) provides temporary shelter care and other related services to Unaccompanied Alien Children (UAC) in ORR custody. Shelter care services begin once ORR accepts a UAC for placement and ends when the minor is released from ORR custody, turns 18 years of age, or the minor&#8217;s immigration case results in a final disposition of removal from the United States. Shelter care and other related services are provided by State-licensed residential shelter care programs in the least restrictive setting appropriate for the UAC&#8217;s age and special needs. The majority of UAC will remain in ORR custody for an average of 30-35 days, but some will have a longer or shorter length of stay.
