The Department of Human Services Colorado has been awarded a $9,205,364 federal block grant by the U.S. Department of Health and Human Services Administration for Children and Families under the Title IV-E Kinship Navigator Program (CFDA 93.471). This funding will support the state's efforts to establish and operate kinship navigator programs, which assist relative caregivers raising children unable to remain with their biological parents. The grant period runs from October 1, 2024 to September 30, 2025. The program aims to help kinship caregivers navigate social service systems, access public benefits, receive legal assistance, and connect with local community resources to support the children in their care. As a key social services agency in Colorado, the Department of Human Services will likely distribute sub-grant funds to county-level entities, non-profits, and local agencies to deliver these critical kinship caregiver support services across the state.
