Kinship care is when relatives step up to raise children whose parents can’t care for them for the time being. For our families providing this type of care, AACPS provides:
help with school enrollment
in-school support services
help connecting with community resources
If you are caring for a family member who is not your own child, you are probably providing kinship care. Learn about kinship care and the benefits you may be eligible for to support you in this important work, as well as how to navigate the issues and resources related to kinship care.
