When a child is removed from their home and placed in out-of-home care, relatives are the preferred resource because this placement type maintains family connections and cultural traditions that can minimize the trauma of family separation. In fact, in order for States to receive Federal payments for foster care and adoption assistance, Federal law under title IV-E of the Social Security Act requires that State agencies consider giving preference to an adult relative over a nonrelated caregiver when determining a placement for a child, provided that the relative caregiver meets all relevant State child protection standards: The Family First Prevention Services Act (P.L. 115-123) signaled the importance of strengthening these family connections by providing funding for kinship navigator programs that assist kinship ' 42 U.S.C. § 671(a)(19) (LexisNexis 2018). Placement refers to the placing of a child in the home of an individual other than a parent or guardian or in a facility other than a youth services center.
