Kinship Care
Kinship care refers to grandparents, other relatives, and even family friends who are caring for children. While some relatives are foster parents, most kinship caregivers are not and privately provide full-time care for children.
For all kinship families in New York State, the Kinship Navigator provides information, referrals, and assistance via its website and a toll-free telephone line at 877-454-6463. The Kinship Navigator provides information on a wide range of kinship topics, including:
- Federal and State Laws about Kinship Care
- Financial Assistance Grants for Kinship Families
- National, State, and Local Resources and Services for Kinship Families
The Kinship Guardianship Assistance Program (KinGAP) is designed for a foster child to achieve a permanent placement with a relative who had been the child's foster parent for at least six months. This program provides financial support and in most cases medical coverage for the child, beginning with the child's discharge from foster care to the guardian. The level of financial support is similar to the maintenance payments received while the child was in foster care.
