Program Description

The "Kinship Care Project" Program serves grandparents and families who are poor and struggling to provide decent housing, education, and health care for forgotten or abandoned children.

The program can help to ensure that grandparents rights are met in specific cases, that all available government benefits are accessed, that health care is provided, and that rights to decent and safe housing are preserved.

A comprehensive guide for relative caregivers, “Caring for a Relative’s Child” is available through the organization.

"Bet Tzedek" offers additional legal resources to these families, including housing, wills preparation and other matters to meet the needs of Los Angeles’s senior citizens.
