HHS Ends $11M Catholic Charities Contract for Migrant Children Care

The Department of Health and Human Services terminated an $11 million contract with Catholic Charities for operating a shelter for migrant children run by the Archdiocese of Miami. This decision eliminates federal funding for the facility that has provided care services for migrant children for several years. The action directly reduces available shelter capacity and support services for unaccompanied migrant minors in the federal care system.
