Kinship/Grandparents

Kinship Navigator Program Launched

In 2018, there were 82,000 grandparents caring for over 89,000 children in Pennsylvania, so we are happy to announce that the Kinship Navigator Program has officially been launched.  The program will connect grandparents and other kin caring for relative children with local, statewide and federal resources to assist them in their role as parent. 
In addition, we are honored to have been selected to serve on the Kin Connector Oversight Committee to assist with successful implementation of this statewide program. Look for updates about the committee’s work in future newsletters.
Please Share! Kin Navigators can be reached at
1-866-KIN-2111 or kinconnector@bair.org. Additional resources as part of the program are forthcoming, including a website, which will be shared in the coming months.
