URM Foster Care

Unaccompanied Refugee Minors (URM) are children under the age of 18 who have been resettled in the United  States without a parent or relative to care for them. LFSRM’s URM Foster Care program provides care and specialized assistance for children who were forced to flee their country of origin due to war, persecution, or unrest, and whose parents and adult caregivers are deceased or unable to be located. LFSRM trains and supports culturally and linguistically appropriate homes, supports a network of other sub-contracted placement providers, and provides Supervised Independent Living services for URM youth in the program.
