Kinship Coalition Virtual Summit 2021

Two years after the federal Family First Act implementation, over a year out from a global pandemic, a lawsuit that rose to the level of the Supreme Court, and several years of policy changes related to supports for relative caregivers necessitate an intentional reflection and a look forward. The Kinship Families Coalition of Kentucky and Kentucky Youth Advocates hosted the Virtual Summit during Kinship Care Month to intentionally reflect on the landscape of kinship care at the state and national level and look ahead to an action agenda to support the best outcomes for all kinship and fictive kin families.

Part 2: As a follow up to the Kinship Summit, the Kinship Families Coalition of Kentucky will host follow-up conversations with support groups across the commonwealth to gather feedback on what the support groups heard and what priorities still need to be addressed.
