This is the final report to the Minnesota Department of Human Services on the Kinship Foster Care in Minnesota Project, a two-year, multi-phase project conducted during 1994-1996. With this project, Minnesota joined the nation-wide effort to examine the current status of kinship foster care and to make recommendations to strengthen the policy and practice framework for kinship foster care.
The purpose of this project was to gather more detailed information about the current status of kinship foster care in Minnesota and to gain knowledge about its strengths and weaknesses in order to inform the development of responsive policy and practice in Minnesota.
