Abstract
ACF, ORR announces the intent to award a Replacement Award to LSS Upbring in the amount of up to $20,929,074 in Brownsville, Texas. On September 17, 2021, Comprehensive Health Services, LLC (CHS) relinquished a federally funded discretionary grant. Per HHS policy, ORR has identified current recipient LSS Upbring to transfer the current permanent capacity to provide shelter for apprehensions of Unaccompanied Children (UC) at the Southwest Border. The continuation of permanent capacity is a prudent step to ensure that ORR is able to meet its responsibility, by law, to provide shelter and appropriate services for UC referred to its care by the Department of Homeland Security. The purpose of this award is to ensure the continuation of residential services for the capacity of 76 shelter beds for UC.

SUPPLEMENTARY INFORMATION: ORR announces the intent to award a
Replacement Award to LSS Upbring in the amount of up to $20,929,074.
This award will prevent the disruption in residential services

recipients must have the infrastructure, licensing if applicable,
experience, and appropriate level of trained staff to meet those
requirements.
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 UC
from the Commissioner of the former Immigration and Naturalization
Service to the Director of ORR within HHS.
(B) The Flores Settlement Agreement, Case No. CV85-4544-RJK (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.
