AI Summary
The Department of Health and Human Services (HHS) has ended an $11 million contract with Catholic Charities, specifically impacting a shelter run by the Archdiocese of Miami. The Office of Refugee Resettlement (ORR), an HHS sub-agency, chose not to renew the funding for the shelter. This decision will affect ongoing efforts to care for migrant children previously served by the Catholic Charities program. The non-renewal follows several years of the Archdiocese of Miami operating the shelter with federal support. This change will necessitate alternative arrangements for the care of migrant children in the affected region.
