Extending Home Visiting to Kinship Caregivers and Family, Friend, and Neighbor Caregivers
CLASP conducted an interview project to explore how home visiting programs are serving children in nonparental care--specifically children in kinship care and in family, friend, and neighbor care. This policy report presents findings from CLASP's interviews with major national models of home visiting and other stakeholders. This paper was made possible by generous support from the Birth to Five Policy Alliance.
