Description: New federal funding opportunities are available to support evidence-based kinship navigator programs- programs which provide information, referral, and follow up services to grandparents and other relatives raising children to link them to benefits and services that they or the children need. Join this webinar to learn about planning for the evaluation for your kinship navigator program to meet evidence-based standards in the new Family First Prevention Services Act which are required to secure ongoing federal funding for your program.
