Kinship Center offers intensive “Wraparound” services to children and youth at risk of placement in a high-level group home, and to their families. To be eligible for this program, the adopted child must be either 1) at risk of placement in a high-level group home or institution, or 2) presently placed in a group home or institution and is ready to transition home.

The program is the result of a contract with Monterey County Department of Social and Employment Services and is funded by Adoption Assistance Program (AAP) funds from Monterey County that otherwise would have paid for residential placement for the child, along with Mental Health Medi-Cal funding (EPSDT). Each child and family is eligible to participate in the program for 18 months.

The Kinship Center staff who are a part of this program have all received specific adoption related training and are highly qualified to work with the special needs of adoptive children.
