Bill overview
This bill, the Empowering Kinship Caregivers and Youth through Title IV–B Act, aims to improve permanency outcomes for children and youth involved in the child welfare system by strengthening support networks. It specifically expands the definition of ‘caregiver’ to include kinship caregivers, alongside foster parents, and recognizes the value of peer-to-peer mentoring programs. The legislation seeks to provide more resources and support to families at risk of entering foster care and those already involved in kinship care arrangements. Ultimately, the goal is to promote stability and permanency for vulnerable youth.
