Extending Home Visiting Programs to Kinship Caregivers and Family, Friend, and Neighbor Caregivers

CLASP announces the release of a new report, Extending Home Visiting Programs to Kinship Caregivers and Family, Friend, and Neighbor Caregivers: Opportunities, Challenges, and Implications. The report explores how home visiting programs are serving children in kinship care and in family, friend, and neighbor care, based on CLASP’s interviews with major national models of home visiting and other stakeholders. It also presents detailed considerations for implementing home visiting with these caregivers, including matters of curricula, staffing, and service referral, and discusses opportunities that result from serving these caregivers. It concludes with recommendations for states and the federal government.
