## Objectives

The Title IV-E Kinship Navigator Program supports kinship caregivers in learning about, finding, and using other programs and services to meet the needs of the children they are raising and their own needs.

The Kinship Navigator Program helps states, Indian tribes, tribal organizations and tribal consortia (tribes) that also operate the title IV-E foster care and adoption assistance programs to operate their own kinship navigator programs.
