AUSTIN, Texas — Texas Governor Greg Abbott announced that his office will provide two grants to meet needs incurred as a result of the federal government’s placing hundreds of Unaccompanied Alien Children (UAC) into temporary shelters in two Texas counties.

Approximately 800 or more unaccompanied children (UAC’s) from Central America will be transferred to North Texas in Ellis and Rockwall counties. The transfer is necessary because of the wave of children who are being housed on the border.
