The bill recognizes the significant number of children being raised in kinship families and aims to support these families. It seeks to amend the Child Abuse Prevention and Treatment Act to include organizations serving kinship families on advisory boards, to establish a national clearinghouse to disseminate information about practices supporting children in kinship families, and to ensure equity and prioritize placement with kin in state grants. The bill also proposes local program requirements to address the unique needs of kinship caregivers and provide training on caring for children with behavioral or mental health challenges and understanding substance use disorders and trauma.
