A new rule approved by Governor Evers aims to create a streamlined licensing pathway for relative and like-kin caregivers, keeping more kids with adults who know and love them.

Nancy Reed, Chief Program Officer at Wellpoint Care Network says: "We welcome efforts that prioritize keeping children connected to family and loved ones whenever possible. The research provided shows that placement with relatives or like kin caregivers strengthens stability and permanency for kids, which aligns with our mission to restore the connections that help children and family thrive. We remain committed to working with partners to ensure these changes translate to meaningful outcomes for our children and families."
