The kinship care program was created to support relatives and close family friends raising a child who isn’t their own. The program helps caregivers access legal, financial, emotional, and community support—whether they’re caring for the child informally, through child welfare, or with a legal arrangement.

The goal is to connect families to the services and support they need to thrive.

Kinship caregivers take on a big responsibility — and they shouldn’t have to do it alone. The program is here to help families:

• Stay financially stable
• Find trusted support in their communities
• Get connected to services like health care, food, housing, and child care.
