12.5 Renewal/Reassessment of Kinship Home

Kinship homes need to be reassessed every two years, just as with foster homes. The reassessment process will be the same as the initial licensure process, with the exception of the training component. The worker, or other designee, assigned to the family, will complete a home study of the kinship caregiver. The worker will then complete the Kinship Home and Safety Checklist Form, check and run the ZTRN screen in order to document that the required In-Service training hours have been met, and update the SS-60 in the system. The In-Service training component does not have to be met if the kinship provider is not receiving the Professional Parenting payment.
