Kinship Care Program: FundingThe funding for Kinship Care is provided to counties and tribes that administer kinship care. These agencies are required to report to the Department if they need to create a waiting list for kinship care funding, and several counties and tribes have found it necessary to develop such lists. Kinship Care funds are allocated to the counties and tribes based on a one-year average of caseloads. In order to assure that funds are utilized to the greatest extent possible, the Department, with the concurrence of the counties, reallocates the funds near the end of each calendar year. Counties and tribes may also invest other locally available funds in the Kinship Care Program. Last Revised: June 16, 2008 |
