DFCS Kinship Navigator Program
The Kinship Navigator Program has 15 kinship navigators that are located statewide. The kinship navigators assist kinship families in identifying and locating resources within their local community. The program’s overarching goal is to close the gaps and/or delays with service delivery to kinship caregivers. DHS focuses on providing a responsive strength-based supportive role to our kinship families.
