California’s ARC Funding Option Program

0 0

California’s Approved Relative Caregiver (ARC) Funding Option Program allows either approved relative caregivers caring for a nonfederally eligible foster child, or relatives who cannot get licensed but care for children under a court-ordered placement to receive per-child, per-month payments , if their county opts into the program. The funding is equal to the amount licensed foster parents receive. If a county has not opted into ARC, kin caregivers receive CalWORKs, California’s TANF program, which provides less financial assistance to the families.
