AI Summary
This resolution recognizes and honors Kindred Hearts of South Carolina (KHSC), a nonprofit organization, for its comprehensive work supporting kinship caregivers, who are relatives like grandparents or aunts and uncles taking care of children. KHSC was formed to address gaps in services for these caregivers, especially those not formally involved with child protective services, by helping them identify and navigate resources to ensure safe and healthy living environments for the children in their care. The organization collaborates with state agencies and community partners across all 46 counties in South Carolina, hosting events to raise awareness and provide support, and has piloted navigation initiatives in several counties since 2019.
