Heightened Supervision Facility

Current as of:

ORR places all children in the least restrictive setting possible. However, if a child requires additional support to ensure their safety or prevent them from running away, ORR may place a child in a Heightened Supervision Facility. These facilities maintain stricter security measures than a shelter, include close staff supervision, and extra support.
