Kinship Guardianship Assistance Payment Program (Kin-GAP)
The Kin-GAP Program, established by Senate Bill 1901 (Chapter 1055, Statutes of 1998), offers a subsidy to children who leave the juvenile court dependency system to live with a relative legal guardian. The subsidy is 100% of the basic foster care rate, based upon age, with no specialized care increment or clothing allowance.
