A voluntary program offered through Children Services for kinship families who are raising other family members' children or "kinship" children. Kinship family members are blood relatives, including aunts, grandparents, cousins, 2nd cousins, 10th cousins, or neighbors, teachers, coaches, or anyone who has a significant bond with the children who are ensuring that children are taken care of when they cannot be with their biological parents. These children could otherwise be placed in foster care. The benefits of keeping children with a kinship family, and out of foster care, are immense. However, these families are often on a fixed income and are unfamiliar with local resources and in need of assistance. Having a "kinship" child is the only requirement to be eligible for the Navigator program (no income eligibility). The first thing the Navigator will do is to identify an individual caregiver's needs. Anyone can make a referral.
