Project Details

Family Heritage Project: A Kinship Support Program of Family Resources, Inc.

Description

The objectives of this federally funded grant are to provide support to relatives who have become the caregivers of children whose biological parents are affected by HIV/AIDS in Pinellas County, Florida. By providing support to these caregivers, it is anticipated that the children affected will reside in safer, more permanent homes.

The evaluation of this four year grant will describe the children and their caregivers in terms of demographic characteristics as well as information on parenting stress, family cohesion, family needs and living situation. Outcome and satisfaction data will be collected after discharge.
