Along with other DC advocates, DC KinCare Alliance urges the DC Housing Authority to remove barriers for non-parent caregivers to add children to their public housing lease or vouchers.  These barriers are not only burdensome and unnecessary, but also violate federal and DC law.

The DC KinCare Alliance Relative Caregiver Community Board submitted this Statement today requesting that the DC Council hold a vote of all Councilmembers on the appointment of the new CFSA Director, rather than letting his nomination be passively approved without a vote.

DC KinCare Alliance signed on to a letter to the Commissioner of the United States Children’s Bureau about the practice of hidden foster care, calling on the Biden Administration to frame the issue as a matter of racial and class justice.
