Foster Kinship

We believe when children can't live with their parents, they should stay with their family. Foster Kinship's mission is to strengthen kinship caregivers' capacity to provide safe, stable, and nurturing homes for vulnerable children. Over 30,000 children in Nevada cannot live with either biological parent due to abuse, neglect, substance misuse, homelessness, mental illness, domestic violence, or other traumatic issues. Most of these children live with their grandmother or other relatives in an arrangement known as kinship care. Kinship care is both an intervention and prevention. Caregivers intervene when children cannot live with their parents, ensuring they can live with family. Kinship care prevents children from entering the foster care system and living with strangers.
