Federal Cooperative Agreement Summary

Dynamic Service Solutions LLC (DSS) has been awarded a $10.36 million Cooperative Agreement by the Office of Refugee Resettlement (ORR) under the Refugee and Entrant Assistance State/Replacement Designee Administered Programs (CFDA 93.566) to operate Children First Residential Care (Sunnyside), a federally funded residential shelter program in Maryland. The award, effective April 1, 2026 through March 31, 2029, funds comprehensive residential services for unaccompanied alien children arriving in the United States without parents or legal guardians.

Under this agreement, DSS provides essential services including safe housing, medical care, education, and mental health support to facilitate the temporary care of unaccompanied children. A critical component of the program involves case management and sponsor vetting, whereby DSS conducts comprehensive background checks to identify and verify suitable sponsors for reunification. The program's primary objective is to safely reunite children with vetted sponsors in the least restrictive environment while maintaining ongoing case management and support services throughout the transition process.
