View Award Description

Partnerships to Expand Tribal Kinship Navigator Services to Support and Empower Tribal Families - The Partnerships to Expand Tribal Kinship Navigator Services to Support and Empower Tribal Families project builds on foundational work done by the Tribal Training and Certification Partnership (TTCP) at the University of Minnesota Duluth with tribes and the State’s Department of Children, Youth and Families. The TTCP has consistently been chosen by the tribes and DCYF to be the lead organization in policy and implementation initiatives impacting tribal child welfare. The TTCP led a three-year tribal Families First Prevention Services Act initiative, funded by DCYF, that concluded in 2025 and identified tribal prevention practices for inclusion in the State’s revised 5 Year Prevention Plan. The TTCP, if funded, will facilitate the replication, adaptation, and implementation of the Washington State Kinship Navigator Program with tribes in Minnesota. This model is supported by the Title IV-E Prevention Services Clearinghouse. Minnesota's 11 tribes, DCYF, University of Washington and Port Gamble S’Klallum will be collaborative partners in this project, ensuring ongoing program improvements. The University of Washington performed evaluation for the Washington model and will be providing rigorous, gold standard research and evaluation through the life of this project. This project will build and sustain tribal agency capacity to bring needed support and services, training, and outreach to tribal kinship caregivers across the state that can be replicated and sustainable by inclusion in the MN 5 Year Prevention Plan. Outcomes will strengthen and empower informal and formal kin caregivers, provide access to solution focused case management, access to supports and services aimed at long term wellbeing. ACF priorities are reflected in the project's measurable outcomes.
