What is KinGap?
KinGap (Kinship Guardianship Assistance Program) helps kinship caregivers — often grandparents, aunts, uncles, or other relatives — obtain legal guardianship and related support when a child cannot safely remain with a parent. It is designed for relatives who are already providing a permanent home and need clear legal standing and assistance.
Who we help
- Kinship caregivers seeking KinGap or related kinship guardianship
- Families pursuing foster agency adoptions (adoptions through foster care or an authorized agency)
- Grandparents, aunts, uncles, and other relatives raising a relative’s child
- Caregivers who need bilingual communication (English and Spanish)
- Families across the Bronx, Brooklyn, Manhattan, Queens, and Staten Island
How we help
Representation can include preparing petitions and related papers, coordinating with the foster care or authorized agency when needed, and guiding you through KinGap toward guardianship — or through a foster agency adoption when that is the path for your family. You will have a clear point of contact and practical next steps from the first call.
