Coronavirus Relief Bill Includes $10 Million for Kinship Care Center
All but unnoticed in news coverage of the $1.9 trillion coronavirus relief package President Joe Biden signed on Thursday is $10 million to start up a technical assistance center to help relative caregivers who step up to fill in for parents whose children have been taken away from them.
While $10 million is a tiny fraction of the massive spending bill, it marks the culmination of a 20-year effort by the nonprofit Generations United to get the government to provide comprehensive services and supports to grandparents who in many cases never anticipated having to spend their limited time, money and energy raising their children’s children.
