Grants for Probate Court-Appointed Kinship Guardians
Posted on July 18, 2023
Dear Friends and Neighbors,
I want to remind you that Probate Court-appointed kinship guardians caring for children may be eligible for thousands of dollars in grants to support the financial costs of housing, food, transportation, as well as summer camp and other enrichment activities.
A guardianship case typically comes before one of Connecticut’s Probate Courts when parents are unable to care for their children due to addiction, mental illness, incarceration or other circumstances. For more than a decade, local Probate Courts have annually awarded $2 million in grants from the state Kinship Fund and Respite Fund to guardians of children who meet low-income guidelines.

Guardians can apply for both funds, though a separate application for each is required. Amounts awarded to residents are determined by their local Probate Court. Residents can find grant applications online or by contacting their local Probate Court.
