Description:
The purpose of this program is to encourage and promote the creation or expansion of services for grandparents and other relatives who have taken on the responsibility of surrogate parenting when the biological parents are unable to do so. Funding will support local and regional initiatives that serve relative caregivers and the children they are raising, with an emphasis on relative caregiving families that are not in the formal foster care system. The program also seeks to create replicable models of cost-effective, quality services across the region.
