The Kinship Care Program offers case management, advocacy, referrals and appointment assistance to kinship caregivers residing in both Madison and Chenango County, NY.  Caregivers include grandparents, aunts, uncles, cousins or adult siblings caring for related children, as well as close family friends or similar non-relative relationships.  Kinship caregivers can be through informal arrangements (without court involvement) or those with court ordered custody.  Guardianship, foster care and kinship foster care, as well as adoption cannot be supported through this program.

The program provides a Case Coordinator to complete home visits, link to community partners, assist with referrals, and to attend DSS, court, educational or other related appointments in support of the family.  Monthly support groups are available to all participants to encourage social and emotional networking as well as group activities, speakers, presentations and educational opportunities to participants.  Additional groups are available for all children in the kinship home as well as family engagement groups for the whole family.  All services and focus areas are determined by the kinship caregivers and children.

Serves Chenango and Madison Counties.
