The Kentucky Kinship Resource Center (KKRC) is here to walk alongside relatives and family friends who step up to care for children. We provide a continuum of services designed to meet the unique needs of kinship providers across the Commonwealth.

Through comprehensive training and education, innovative peer support and mentoring, and broad based advocacy, KKRC equips caregivers with the tools, knowledge, and resources they need to thrive. Our goal is simple: to ensure kinship families have the support necessary to safeguard the well-being and future of the children in their care.

KKRC Expansion

The Kentucky Kinship Resource Center is expanding! Beginning July 2024, the KKRC will now serve all caregivers, whether they have custody, are fostering, or are caretaking for a family member or friend’s child. Now, the KKRC programs will be offered to all kinship caregivers in Kentucky, regardless custodial status, including kinship foster situations.

WHAT'S NEW WITH KINSHIP?

“As a kinship caregiver, I wasn’t able to access programs like KKRC. For many of our caregivers, it is such a relief to know they are not alone. To know that they are heard. To know that there is help. That is what the KKRC is all about.”

“KY-KINS has a singular focus to support kinship caregivers in all aspects of their kinship lives. Ultimately, we hope to have a positive impact on the people we are able to serve through the program."
