Kinship Navigator Program

The Kinship Navigator program Is a program that will support and sustain current formal
and informal kinship family placements. Once referred, a family will be given a needs assessment.

The results of that assessment will determine the services for the family. Needs and services include linkage with DCFS, the courts and the kinship family, supportive listening and in-home
services as need indicates, education on current topics and solutions, and offering information on eligibility for benefits, legal assistance, child care, housing and training/education.

Referrals to the program are facilitated by D.C.F.S. (Department of Children and Family Services).
