Ohio & Kinship Care: The Challenge for Grandparents & Other Caregivers is the first in a series of issue briefs being published and released by the CDF–Ohio KIDS COUNT program. The series of issue briefs will provide information and data that will help with advocacy, policy development, and decision-making affecting the well-being of Ohio's children. Ohio & Kinship Care provides information on the status of grandparent caregivers in Ohio. Although a kinship caregiver can be a family member or close friend of the child, the information in this issue brief focuses on grandparent caregivers and the grandchildren in their care because this is the only population for which data is currently available.
