Missouri Kinship Navigator Program

The Missouri Kinship Navigator Program partners with ParentLink and Missouri Family Resource Centers to connect formal and informal relative caregivers to quality information, outreach activities and support services across Missouri.

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 Missouri? — Residency is usually the first thing a program checks.
• 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?
