"HHS is proposing a $9 million direct legal representation project that will provide representation to 2,600 unaccompanied children throughout their immigration proceedings. In order to implement this Departmental priority, ORR is awarding supplemental funds totaling $4,261,268 in FY 2014 to provide direct representation to 1,222 children and plans to provide the remaining funds for this project in FY 2015. The initial program will address legal services to post-release alien minor children in Los Angeles, CA; Houston, TX; Miami, FL; Baltimore, MD; Arlington, VA; Dallas, TX; Memphis, TN; New Orleans, LA; and Phoenix, AZ. Recognizing that this will cover only a portion of children released to sponsors in these cities, HHS is committed to continuing to work with DHS and the Department of Justice (DOJ) to determine how best to prioritize the use of these 2,600 slots in the provision of legal services to this vulnerable population." - Federal Register / Vol. 79, No. 200 / Thursday, October 16, 2014.
