MKCA is committed to the safety, well-being and stability of children in relative caregiving families.

  •  

Sam's aunt contacted MKCA when his adoptive grandparent passed away. After this difficult turn of events, she wanted to welcome Sam into her home. Sam's aunt wanted to assist Sam by exploring her legal options to obtain guardianship. She was relieved to learn that his medical care and psychological care could be continued, and his eligibility for Medical Assistance would help him access needed support. Sam's life had been dramatically improved when his grandmother adopted him from foster care, and now, in turn, his aunt has the information and resources she needs to pursue guardianship and a new family home for him. Relative caregivers bring the strength of family to a new level of commitment!

MKCA provides information and assistance, one-to-one mentoring, support and education groups, and trainings designed to strengthen and expand the network of support for relative caregivers.

We assist hundreds of kinship families annually throughout Minnesota to help them navigate:

  • The safety needs of children and caregiver
  • Meeting basic needs, financial benefits, health insurance
  • Children's mental health and school enrollment
  • Legal options leading to permanent homes for children

    MKCA has helped hundreds of caregivers navigate their way through systems (formal, informal, child welfare, legal, etc) to access resources and supports necessary so that their families may thrive. Thanks MKCA for being there for so many across the state of MN!
