·State program
Kinship Navigation Program
Provides free, voluntary, and confidential services throughout New Hampshire, linking kinship caregivers to programs and supports like state benefits, and community information and resources.
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 New Hampshire?
Residency is usually the first thing a program checks.
- 02
Does your relationship to the person — grandparent or sibling — 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?
