Kinship Navigator Project¶
Kinship Navigator Project provides free information, referrals, and support services for grandparents, relatives, and non-relatives caring for children, with no eligibility criteria required.
Eligibility¶
- Relationship: grandparent, 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 Oregon? — Residency is usually the first thing a program checks.
- Does your relationship to the person — grandparent, 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?
