Kinship care or 'relative care' is the full time parenting of children by grandparents, other extended family members, or adults with whom they have a close family-like relationship.

 

The Area Agency on Aging seeks to assist kinship families though offering access to resources and supplies. Through funding generously given to us by the State of Michigan, we may be able to offer kinship caregivers 55 & older help such as:

 

  • Back to School Supplies and Clothing
  • Emergency Services
  • Summer Camp or Sports Program Costs
  • And Other Needs and Services

 

As a kinship caregiver you are giving a child in your life the gif t of a safe and stable home. Let us help you, or a kinship caregiver you know, find help and support fulfilling this great gift to a child
