We know you’ve stepped up. Let us hold the anchor. If you are a grandparent, aunt, uncle, or sibling suddenly raising a child due to a loved one’s incarceration, you do not have to navigate this transition alone. The Kinship Anchor Project is here to take the administrative, legal, and financial weight off your shoulders so you can focus on loving your family.
How We Assist You Immediately: Get Help Enrolling Kids in School: We guide you through the necessary custody paperwork. Connect with an Incarcerated Parent: We assist with background checks and cover the cost of calls or video visits. Secure Basic Needs: We help you access state benefits and provide emergency school supplies/clothes.
