kinship, and family preservation.
The Kinship Support Services Program provides multiple support services to help relative caregivers and children

family can become self-sufficient, safe, and remain together.

“Families that are Economically Self Sufficient”; 4) “Families that are Safe, Stable and Nurturing”; and 5)
“Communities that are Safe and Provide a High Quality of Life for Children and Families,” by providing family
support and stability and safety of children, thereby preventing out-of-home placements.
