This program provides funds for the planning, start-up and expansion of kinship support services programs in California Counties. These programs are required to provide community-based family support services to relative caregivers, to court dependent children placed in their homes as well as to relative caregivers of children who are at risk of dependency or delinquency. The program is also mandated to provide post-permanency services to relative caregivers who have become the legal guardian(s) or adoptive parent(s) of formerly dependent children. CONSEQUENCE OF NEGATIVE ACTION: The Request for Proposal will have an incorrect payment limit amount.
