Grandparent Caregiver Program Regulations Amended to Reduce Wait Times to Apply for Subsidy

The regulations were amended to remove the requirement that a grandparent must receive a TANF determination before they can apply for the Grandparent Caregiver Program; now only proof of applying for TANF is required. Our grandparent caregivers identified this issue and worked with us to make this change happen!

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.
