The Department of Health and Human Services Administration for Children and Families awarded The Village Family Services, Inc. a $5.048 million Cooperative Agreement on May 1, 2026, under the Refugee and Entrant Assistance State/Replacement Designee Administered Programs (CFDA 93.566).

The Village Family Services delivers residential long-term foster care services for unaccompanied alien children arriving in the United States without parents or legal guardians. The program provides housing, medical care, education, and mental health support while identifying and vetting suitable sponsors through comprehensive background checks. Case management and support services continue after safe reunification of children with vetted sponsors in the least restrictive environment.

The award runs through April 30, 2029, with place of performance in North Hollywood, Los Angeles, California. The Village Family Services is a nonprofit, Hispanic American-owned organization that receives funding exclusively from HHS; this award represents part of its portfolio of three ORR cooperative agreements. The federal grant program reimburses recipients for care of unaccompanied refugee minors and administrative costs as part of the broader Refugee and Entrant Assistance framework serving multiple refugee and entrant populations during their resettlement period.
