The Kinship Navigator Program offers two different types of support: caregiver subsidies and emergency financial assistance. For each resource, you may apply online or contact us directly to work with a Kinship team member on your application.
Grandparent Caregiver Program
The Grandparent Caregiver Program helps low-income District residents who are raising their grandchildren, great-grandchildren, great-nieces, or great-nephews.
Close Relative Caregiver Program
The Close Relative Caregiver Program provides a monthly subsidy to assist low-income DC residents who are raising their siblings, nieces, nephews, and cousins.
Emergency Financial Assistance
The Emergency Financial Assistance program can provide support for food, clothing, housing, utilities, furniture, pest control, household items, or transportation. Please note, all of the above are short term, one time assistance and are not meant to be ongoing services.
