Kinship Care

The purpose of the Kinship Care Program is to protect children and strengthen families by providing a safe, loving and nurturing environment. A Kingship Family provides the child with stability that is seen as complementary to the child's biological parent rather than as a substitute family. The majority of children in care are placed for a temporary period.
