Our Rescue Awarded $158 Million Contract for Immigrant Children Legal Representation

Why it matters locally: While the contract directly impacts federal operations, Indiana, like other states, receives unaccompanied immigrant children who may require legal services covered by such federal contracts. Organizations within Indiana may collaborate with Our Rescue or be impacted by the availability of these federally funded legal services.
