Cooperative Agreement Summary

Urban Strategies, L.L.C. received a $10.56M Cooperative Agreement from the Office of Refugee Resettlement (ORR) under the Refugee and Entrant Assistance State/Replacement Designee Administered Programs (CFDA 93.566) for the period April 1, 2026 through March 31, 2029. The award funds a federally supported residential shelter program that provides temporary care and essential services for unaccompanied alien children arriving in the United States without parents or legal guardians. Services encompass housing, medical care, education, mental health support, comprehensive background checks for sponsor identification and vetting, and ongoing case management designed to safely reunite children with qualified sponsors in the least restrictive environment possible.

This cooperative agreement aligns with the broader CFDA 93.566 program, which supports resettlement services for refugees and other eligible entrants during their initial transition to the United States. Urban Strategies, a minority-owned, woman-owned small business based in Arlington, Virginia, brings substantial experience delivering integrated support services to vulnerable populations, including prior ORR-funded work providing home study and post-release services for unaccompanied children and other evidence-based programming across multiple HHS agencies and geographic regions.
