September is National Kinship Care Month!

Kinship caregivers are relatives or family friends who care for children when their biological parents are unable to do so.

Legal Aid provides comprehensive legal services for kinship families. Our Kinship Care Team includes advocates from multiple practice groups who help these families obtain legal authority so they can make medical and educational decisions for these children.

Managing Attorney Kelly Malone stated, "We are deeply inspired by the love, dedication, and sacrifices our clients make for the children in their care. It is our privilege to provide the legal services that help complete the foundation these children need to thrive."

Legal Aid's Kinship Care Team includes attorneys Ivory McGuire, Molly Russell, Kelly Malone, John Altman, and Jamie Landvatter (not pictured).

Katie Schulte is a Staff Attorney and Ohio Access Justice for All Fellow. Her fellowship focuses on improving health outcomes through housing advocacy for families in Brown, Clinton, and Highland Counties.

In a recent case, Katie advocated for a family whose home was infested with mold, making it unlivable. After multiple requests, their landlord failed to make necessary repairs. Katie helped the family file a rent escrow application and worked with the local health department regarding the unsafe conditions. Katie then negotiated directly with the landlord to address the problems at the property, resolving the issues without further litigation. Importantly, she secured thousands of dollars in rent abatement for the family. As a result of her work, the family's residence is now livable and safe.
