Kinship Care Resource Center

About the Program

The Kinship Care Resource Center is one of several community programs in the School of Social Work at Michigan State University. The KCRC serves kinship care families across the state by providing information and referrals to resources and services for caregivers and the children they are raising. KCRC also offers support to professionals serving kinship families.

Our Services Include:

Information and referral assistance from Kinship Care Navigators, connecting caregivers to resources that support kinship families in the communities where they live.
Contact list of local support groups across the state and a calendar with their meeting information.
Trainings and workshops for kinship caregivers, community members, service providers, policymakers, and others.

We serve kinship caregivers who are related or have a family-like bond with a child they are providing with full-time care without the parents assistance.
