Kinship Care allows the placement of an abused, neglected, or orphaned child with an approved relative rather than being placed in foster care. Services to the relative caregiver can include child care subsidy, respite, family counseling, parenting training, support group referral and a one-time start up bonus (clothing, school supplies, additional furniture, or a deposit on a larger apartment). Eligibility for benefits is determined by the following requirements: a. You are the child’s relative by blood, marriage, or adoption b. You have a stable home environment as observed through a home evaluation c. You pass a criminal check d. The child is at risk of, or has been removed from, his/her home as a result of abuse, neglect, or death of both parents. How do I apply? If your grandchild has been removed from his/her home by the Cabinet, contact the concerned Community Based Services office and speak to a social worker in the Division of Protection and Permanency OR speak to a case worker in the Division of Family Support. Kentucky Kinship Care Central Office # is: 502-564-2136
