In a community partnership with the Administration for Children’s Services (ACS) under the Division of Child and Family Well-Being (CFWB), our kinship program works to engage with non-traditional families to ensure the well-being of the child is met. Using primary prevention strategies through the promotion of equity strategies, subsidized early childhood education, and public awareness campaigns, we actively work towards assisting families before they reach the child welfare system.

In collaboration with the CFWB, Bridge Builder’s Kinship Program strives to function as a hub for coordinating services and resources, and advocating for families, in addition to advising city agencies on the implementation of CFWB procedures and policies.

Moreover, our Kinship Program works with Mobilization for Justice formerly known as MFY Legal Services, which offers free legal assistance to low-income New Yorkers throughout New York City to resolve legal problems in the areas of housing, foreclosures, civil, and disability rights, consumer, employment, government benefits, immigration, and kinship care.
