Latest UC Data – FY2022

The data below was extracted from ORR's UC Portal database. The UC Portal system tracks an unaccompanied child's cycle in ORR custody from the time of placement, and throughout ORR's care. In this way, the UC Portal supports ORR's mission of ensuring each child receives a safe placement and timely release to a vetted sponsor.
