Kinship & Respite Grants

By |

Probate Judge David Baram reminds court-appointed guardians to apply for grants for school supplies. Probate Courts have been awarding grants from the state Kinship Fund and Respite Fund to court-appointed guardians for more than a decade. Eligibility for the grants was expanded beyond relatives serving as guardians to all those appointed by the Probate Courts who meet low-income guidelines. A guardianship case typically arises in the Tobacco Valley Probate Court when parents are unable to care for their children due to mental illness, substance abuse or incarceration. Probate Courts appoint a grandparent or other relative to care for the children.
