"The Kinship Program is my second home. Over the years they've helped me raise my grandchildren and helped us to find a resource for everything we need." John, 72 years and caring for 4 grandchildren

Welcome to Edgewood's Kinship Program!
Serving the greater Bay Area

Picture
Have you stepped up to take care of your grandchild or another relative's child?
​
  • Children who stay with grandparents or relatives instead of going into foster care do much better in school and at home.
  • ​​After one year in our program kinship caregivers feel healthier and more socially connected.
  • Edgewood supports kinship families in many ways (resources, respite, trainings, support groups, youth activities, school supplies, education/vocation support for kinship teens and young adults).

Funded by the San Francisco Human Services Agency, Department of Aging and Adult Services, Wells Fargo, Ticket to A Dream Foundation, State Street, and other private funders.
​

iKinship, an online resource for kinship families, provides concrete support to assist kinship families on their way.
