Unaccompanied Refugee Minor Program – International minor victims without a parent or legal guardian in the U.S. may be eligible for services under the Unaccompanied Refugee Minors (URM) program. The Administration for Children and Families’ Office of Refugee Resettlement determines whether a child is eligible for the URM program. A child victim of trafficking with an Eligibility Letter who has no available parent or legal guardian in the United States may be eligible for the URM program. A URM child in Mississippi will be placed in a therapeutic foster home or group home setting according to individual needs and services required after adjudication by the appropriate court. URM children can receive intensive case management, education, health care, mental health counseling, independent living skills training, assistance with family reunification and repatriation, and other services until they turn 18 or such higher age, as set forth in the foster care rules of the state.
