KINSHIP SUPPORT SERVICES

In an effort to keep children with their family, LCC's Kinship Support Services Program (KSSP) provides services to relatives who are raising another family member's children when the parents are absent and/or unable to raise them. Many of these children are living with their relatives as an alternative to foster care. Serving both the children and the relatives who care for them, the program provides:

Needs assessment
Case management
Service planning
Children’s support and activity groups
Youth empowerment
Tutoring
Social and recreational outings
Respite care
Caregiver support groups
Basic needs assistance

KSSP also works throughout the state to improve the lives of kinship families by speaking at public hearings, testifying before the state and providing technical assistance to other kinship programs from San Bernardino to Sonoma counties.
