How Family Dynamics are Unique in Kinship Families
World-renowned kinship expert, Dr. Joseph Crumbley, will explain how family dynamics in kinship families differ from those in other families.
The scarcity of safe, quality, affordable housing is a national dilemma that poses an additional challenge for older caregivers who are raising their grandchildren or other young relatives. Many housing units for older Americans do not allow minor-age tenants, forcing caregivers to find an all-too-rare alternative, often on short notice.
As social service agencies and policy makers grapple with increasing demands for grandfamily and kinship housing, this webinar features two organizations that are providing much-needed housing for grandfamilies.
Learn from their experiences about how they navigated the complex regulations, funding challenges, and program designs to bring a good idea to fruition and how others might follow suit in addressing a dire and growing need.
Presenters:
- Karyne Jones, President & Chief Executive Officer, NCBA and NCBA Housing Management Corporation (Washington, DC)
- Paul Freitag, Executive Director, West Side Federation for Senior and Supportive Housing, Inc. (Bronx, NY)
- Jamarl Clark, Assistant Director, National Center on Grandfamilies at Generations United (moderator)
