Colorado Kinnected Kinship Navigator Program¶
Colorado Kinnected Kinship Navigator Program provides family search, engagement facilitation, and kinship supports including hard goods and training to relatives caring for children.
Eligibility¶
- Relationship: other relative, non relative
Questions to ask the program¶
These are questions to ask the program, not a verdict on your eligibility. Confirm the current rules directly with the program.
- Does the person receiving care live in Colorado? — Residency is usually the first thing a program checks.
- Does your relationship to the person — other relative or non relative — count for this program?
- Is there a caregiver-specific department, coordinator, or support line? Ask for it by name. — Many agencies have one that isn’t advertised on the website.
- What documents do you need from us to start an application?
- Is there a waitlist right now, and how long is it?

How to apply¶
- Kinnected is delivered through the county child welfare system to families already involved in a case: a kinship navigator acts as the family's point of contact. Enacted in only four counties. General CDHS contact for kinship questions: 303-866-5700, or the family's county human services department.
