For those who are raising a second family Washington-Morgan Counties Community Action, in partnership with both Washington and Morgan County Children Services Agency, has established a Family Support Program for Kinship Caregivers.

Many kinship caregivers are unable to find answers to questions and concerns from childcare and medical services to legal, financial and educational issues. The Family Support Program provides direct linkage to available services at the state and local level. The program makes the connection to resources to services the needs of the individual family.
