DC KinCare Alliance Leads Advocacy to Remove Barriers for Non-Parent Caregivers to Access the DC Child Care Subsidy

Along with other advocates, DC KinCare Alliance requests that DC explicitly include in loco parentis as one of the legal relationships eligible for the DC Child Care Subsidy. Doing so is consistent with the overarching purposes of the program, as well as with existing federal and DC child care and school enrollment regulations.

DC KinCare Alliance works to support relative caregivers who raise DC’s most vulnerable and at-risk children whose parents are not able to care for them for reasons including: death, incarceration, homelessness, substance use or mental health disorders, abuse or neglect, detainment or deportation. We empower relatives to care for these children by providing legal representation, education, and advocacy for the whole family.
