Ohio uses Kinnect to Family, a specialized intense family search and engagement program that is similar to Missouri’s 30 Days to Family program. Kinnect to Family expands on 30 Days to Family by allowing all foster youth, not just those entering care, to be eligible. The program works with families before children are removed so they avoid foster care entry when possible

In Louisiana, specifically listed qualified relative caregivers with legal or provisional custody (or who obtain it within one year of certification) and who have an annual income of less than 150% of the federal poverty threshold may receive $450 per month for each eligible child as part of the Kinship Care Subsidy Program.

Missouri increased family finding through Extreme Recruitment and 30 Days to Family. Extreme Recruitment is a 12–20-week intensive intervention to identify kin for the hardest to place children by using staff and a private investigator to mine records of the children to identify and locate relatives and kin to be explored for potential placement. Introducing private investigators to the program increased contact with relatives from 23% to 80%. The process involves weekly meetings of the youth’s team and follow-up until the youth achieves permanency. 30 Days to Family in Missouri builds off the success of Extreme Recruitment and focuses on entry into foster care rather than focusing on youth once they are deemed hard to place while in care. This program places equal focus on finding maternal and paternal relatives. The goal is primary placement with kin in addition to locating two-to-three backup kinship placements.

New Jersey provides eligible kinship legal guardians $250 a month, multiplied by the number of eligible children in the home, minus all combined countable income of the eligible children, such as any child support payments.

New York's online Kinship Report  shares data on a variety of kinship variables for the state and by county.
