Project Spotlight: Kinship Support Services Program
In partnership with Olive Crest and Family Resource Center, the JLOCC assists in the development of kinship support services devoted to providing support for foster youth placed in the homes of relative caregivers. Approximately 60% of the children taken out of their homes are placed with relative caregivers such as aunts, uncles, grandparents, or older siblings. Relative caregivers often have special needs linked to age, poverty, poor health, social isolation, or inadequate access to information and services. The Kinship program, supported by JLOCC, hosts events that address the unique needs of each caregiver and child by providing referrals to basic services and resources, a support system of other caregivers and a break from daily stresses.
