What Is Kinship Navigator?

This ACH program is for families outside the child welfare system who are caring for a relative’s child(ren).

It offers outreach, education, and support for these families. Our staff will work to provide meaningful engagement, help, and connection to resources that may be needed, including food, clothing, and legal aid.

In many cases, kinship caregivers step in during times of crisis with little to no preparation or support. Kinship Navigator is here to walk alongside them, offering guidance and stability. We help families navigate challenges such as school enrollment, medical care, housing needs, and understanding legal rights.

Our team also provides emotional support and connection to a community of caregivers who truly understand. By empowering kinship families, we ensure children remain in safe, familiar environments and continue to thrive with the love and care of extended family.

This program helps keep children from entering the foster care system.

We are committed to always thinking family first.
