SFY 25 Kinship Navigator (CL9) Scope State

Kentucky Kinship Information, Navigation, and Support (KY-KINS) provides paraprofessional, non-clinical peer support services to kinship care providers in Kentucky, thus improving access to support, information, and needed resources. KY- KINS supports program participants in an array of “life” areas, including home stresses and challenges, familial dynamics, goal setting, and social relationships. KY-KINS seeks to create a strong social support network easily accessible by participants in times of need. In so doing, the program aims to reduce the risk of placement instability among kinship providers.
