The Department of Health and Human Services has decided not to renew an $11 million contract with Catholic Charities that funded care for migrant children, according to recent reports.

The Office of Refugee Resettlement, a sub-agency within HHS, will no longer provide funding to the Catholic Charities shelter operated by the Archdiocese of Miami. The contract had been in place for several years as part of the federal government's efforts to house and care for unaccompanied migrant children.

The decision affects the ongoing federal system for caring for migrant children who arrive at the U.S. border without parents or guardians. These children are typically placed in shelters run by various organizations under contract with ORR while they await placement with sponsors or family members.

Catholic Charities operates numerous programs across the United States, including immigration services and refugee resettlement programs. The organization has been a significant provider of services for migrants and refugees through federal contracts and partnerships.

The Office of Refugee Resettlement oversees the care and placement of unaccompanied migrant children, managing a network of shelters and facilities across the country. Federal agencies regularly review and renew contracts with service providers as part of standard procurement processes.
