Supporting Relative Caregivers
DC KinCare Alliance seeks to achieve a future where all DC children live in a safe and stable home.
We work to support caregivers who raise DC’s most vulnerable and at-risk children (usually grandparents or other relatives) whose parents are not able to care for them.
Parents may be incarcerated, homeless, have a substance use or mental health problem, abuse or neglect their children, or have been detained or deported.
We respect and empower relatives to care for at-risk DC children by providing:
- Legal representation
- Information and education
- Advocacy
