Kinship Caregiving

Did you know, there are an estimated 179,000 kinship caregivers in NY State? Of these kinship caregivers, 131,000 are grandparents caring for a child. Kinship caregivers are individuals that provide full-time care to a non-biological child. In celebration of Kinship Care Month, please join SHOPP’s Caregivers Program and Brandy Orange, Capacity- Building and Learning Coordinator for the NYC Department for the Aging Bureau of Direct Services / Grandparent Resource Center to learn more about kinship care and available resources.
