Immigrant Children's - USCRI

Since 2005, USCRI has been providing much-needed social services to unaccompanied migrant children.


The Unaccompanied Alien Children Program provides care and housing for unaccompanied minors detained in the United States by Homeland Security, Border Protection, or other federal law enforcement agencies. Children are held in custody pending settlement of their claims under US immigration law or delivery to parents, adult family members, or other responsible adults.


In 2005, USCRI began providing services to unaccompanied migrant children who had recently arrived in the United States. When unaccompanied children are placed in federal custody, the goal is to get them safely reunited with a family member or sponsor as quickly as possible. The most vulnerable children are screened at home prior to discharge to ensure they are released into a safe environment and that sponsors are ready to meet their needs. Eligible children also receive follow-up benefits to ensure their successful integration into the community.
