A huge thanks to you and everyone who made this happen! It is my honor to work alongside you all!
Budget Update: Kinship care services in NY have been fully funded! Thank you to @AndrewHevesi for his tireless work on behalf of the kinship community, and to all the caregivers and front line workers who advocated for these restored funds! #kinshipcare
More than 20 CHAMPS-NY partners joined in a letter calling on @NYGovCuomo to ensure kids & families have access to the supports they need during the #COVID19 crisis. #NYChildWelfare fosteringchamps.org/wp-content/upl…
Grandparents and older relatives caring for children can’t risk visiting stores & exposure to COVID-19. They’re struggling to get food and medical supplies--resources & more #KinshipNavigator are needed to help access supplies. Include #KinshipCaregivers in #ChildWelfareCOVID
Yes! And let's not forget our foster parents, foster care staff, & kinship caregivers who are providing first response and vital support for our children & youth in #fostercare. Thank you!
Let's show our gratitude to our everyday heroes. They’re stepping up for all of us. So when you see them, thank them. I’ll start. Thank you to every: -Healthcare worker -Grocer -Pharmacist -Police officer -Firefighter -Public transit worker -Childcare worker And so many more.
So happy to be here at @ftnys Family Empowerment Day! There’s a great program scheduled that I’m looking forward to 😊 #childwelfare #fostercare #NYS
“We need healthy children, healthy families, and a healthy budget for them!” Love AM Gunther’s words here at @ftnys Family Empowerment Day!
We are excited to welcome our families from across #NewYork to Albany today as we kick-off Family Empowerment Day 2020! #nothingaboutuswithoutus #ftnys
"instead of taking custody of the child and requesting court approval for this move, the agency facilitates the transfer of custody to a relative outside the foster care system. This transfer is often effected through a “safety plan” #childwelfare #fostercare #NYS @NYSNavigator

#Thankyou @NYSenate and @NYSA_Majority for meeting with our #KinshipCare caregivers Alba, Anita and Cynthia this weekend in Albany as you declared September 2020 #KinshipCareNY Month!
Thank you @EllenCJaffee for your commitment to kinship families and for inviting caregivers from all across the state to come and speak with you! #fundkinshipcare
We urge @NYSenate @NYSA_Majority to support funding for #kinshipcareny. #fundkinshipcare
Kinship Care is when a relative/family friend is caring for a child (i.e. a grandparent raising a grandkid). We need to support these families to ensure stability and permanency for kids in our community.
ICYMI: Our blog post spotlighting KinGAP is live! #childwelfare #fostercare #nys @SchuylerCenter @CHAMPSNewYork @ftnys @DedeHill8 scaany.org/child-welfare/…
There are over 195,000 kids in #NYS living with kin who are their primary caretaker. Nineteen local kinship programs and the @NYSNavigator (KN) help families find permanency. We implore the legislature to #fundkinshipcare programs in #NY!
Research proves it: kids do better out of home when they live with kin. The Kinship Care Programs and @NYSNavigator help these families stabilize in the midst of crisis. #fundkinshipcare in #NYS. @NYSenate @NYSA_Majority
We’re starting to gather! Let’s #fundkinshipcare in #NYS! @SchuylerCenter
