# Kinship Care

 

Collection – [Kinship Care](https://www.aecf.org/resources/family-ties) 

A comprehensive survey of kinship care policies identifies increasing efforts by states, the District of Columbia and Puerto Rico to promote kinship care and support kinship caregivers of children and youth who are known to the child welfare system. The survey, fielded in 2022, was conducted by Child Trends for the Annie E. Casey Foundation.  Additional reports are scheduled to be released.
