Program AKA (also known as): Kinship Support Services

Program Description: Lincoln’s Kinship Support Services Program provides free services to kinship families – families in which a child is being raised by his or her relative. Our goal at KSSP is to support our families in any way possible to ensure that the child stays with a relative caregiver versus entering the foster care system. Services include but are not limited to: • Case Management, advocacy and referral for financial, legal, mental health, emergency, and education services. • Free workshops and Kin Conference • Support groups for both caregivers and youth • Free homework help and academic support • Free weekend youth recreation activities • Family events • Youth Leadership program and Volunteering • Teen co-parenting support We serve families in Southern Alameda County: San Lorenzo, San Leandro, Castro Valley, Hayward, Fremont, Newark, Union City, Sunol, Dublin, Livermore, and Pleasanton.
