Description

Kinship Care is a form of foster care in which a family member-such as a grandparent or aunt or uncle-or close family friend assumes the responsibility of caring for a child full-time.

St. Catherine's Center for Children launched its award-winning Kinship Care program in 2021 to support kinship caregivers in Albany, Schenectady, Greene and Ulster counties. Our program connects caregivers to community and public support services to aid in the continued care of a youth, or find alternative permanency arrangements, including a plan to reunite the youth with their biological parents.
