Colorado Kinnected Kinship Navigator Program
Colorado Kinnected Kinship Navigator Program provides family search, engagement facilitation, and kinship supports including hard goods and training to relatives caring for children.
Questions that decide eligibility
GiveCare prepares the questions; the program makes the decision. Bring these to the call or the application:
- 01
Does the person receiving care live in Colorado?
Residency is usually the first thing a program checks.
- 02
Does your relationship to the person — other relative or non relative — count for this program?
- 03
Does the VA disability rating meet the program’s minimum (our record lists null%)?
- 04
Do the work hours meet the minimum (our record lists null hours)?
- 05
Is there a caregiver-specific department, coordinator, or support line? Ask for it by name.
Many agencies have one that isn’t advertised on the website.
- 06
What documents do you need from us to start an application?
- 07
Is there a waitlist right now, and how long is it?

Kinnected is delivered through the county child welfare system to families already involved in a case: a kinship navigator acts as the family's point of contact. Enacted in only four counties. General CDHS contact for kinship questions: 303-866-5700, or the family's county human services department.
